The last thing a survivor of such a disease is going to want, is to be treated differently, when they are fighting every second of their lives to return to some modicum of normalicy.

Which is why I believe we shouldn't keep her with the flag solely because of her illness.

While I admit the message I suggested would also cause a similar problem, as it is basically telling everyone about her condition, I think it can be tweaked to not cause this problem. But then again, I didn't know her personally so I don't know who she would feel about the whole thing.
