I'm sorry, Dr.Zhivago does not include a character by the name of Mr. White.
I think Yury takes pity on Pasha. He knows neither will probably see each other again so he tells him that Lara loved him. This gives Pasha a sense of happiness. It is Pasha's gift from Yury before he (Pasha) takes his own life.
The main theme in Dr. Zhivago is impossible love. I wouldn't cite illness as a theme, but if you find a connection I'd use it. We all read and discover different things in literature. That's why great literature survives.
