Books where the main character battles with a disease?

My gf's birthday is next month and wanted to get her a book for one of her presents. I realised most of the books she reads all have one thing in common, the main character has some kind of serious illness that they are battling with. So, if anyone can recommend any good books that have that kind of theme it would be greatly appreciated. Please try recommend ones which are less heard of as well as popular ones (pretty sure she'll have read all the main ones)...

Thanks ever so much :)

Update:

Sorry forgot to mention, she quite likes films like "The Notebook"... Just if that helps

    I use this website whatshouldireadnext.com where you put in the name of a book you really like and it gives you a list of similar books to read. So you could type in "the notebook" by Nicholas sparks and see what it says.

    jointly as the element-of-view character does no longer die, the come across character in Fitzgerald's "the large Gatsby" does extremely. And as for angst-ridden romance with secret and suspense, it does no longer get extra effective powerful. Arguably the "large American Novel," yet do no longer enable that intimidate you. this is a common learn -- for a reader. as properly, in case you have no extra learn it via making use of now, you will via making use of the time you're out of faculty. could besides be previous to each physique else in school.
