"Is it cancerous?" My mom asked as soon as the doctor walked back in. He nodded slowly. This can't be happening. My mom and dad are now both hugging me and I'm sitting there crying.
My name is Jan Stefchek and I just got diagnosed with cancer. The reason my mom had brought me to the hospital was because I was having these awful headaches. The headaches lasted for ten days. The day before she brought me Putzie had to bring me home from school.
He brought me home cause at lunch I cried myself to sleep from the pain. My mom realized this was too much and took me to the hospital. They tried a bunch of medicine, which didn't work. Finally, they gave me a MRI and found a tumor in the back of my head. They tested it and today we found out it was cancerous.
I hadn't even told any of the gang about the tumor, now I have to tell them I have cancer. I'm the scardest I have ever been in my whole entire life right now.
My mom and dad slowly walk me to the car. They're taking me home so I can go see and tell everyone. It's Friday so I'm going to Frenchy's house tonight and the whole gang was supposed to meet at Frosty's after school.
I looked at my watch, school was already out. We pulled up to the driveway to see Putzie holding flowers at the door. Before I even steped out of the car he could see my red and puffy eyes. He always knew when something was wrong.
I ran over to him and he hugged me,"Hey sweetie," He whispered as he stroked my hair,"What happened." I shook my head trying to let him know I would tell him when we got upstairs to my room.
My dad unlocked the door and I pulled Putzie up to my room quickly. He came, but I could tell he was really confused. We both walked in and I quietly closed the door. He hugged me close 'cause he knew something was really wrong. I could see fear in his eyes.
"Ok, so I had to get a MRI at the hospital and they found a tumor, and we just found out it's cancerous." I said in one breath.
"You have cancer," he whispered and I nodded. He kissed my head lightly and hugged me tighter,"I love you, I'm always here fo you, I'll do anything for you."
"I love you too." I replied. We just stayed like this for hours. He held me in his arms, my head laid on his shoulder. He would pull me closer every now and then. Finally, he scooted me off of his lap.
"Are you still gonna come to Frosty's?" He asked, his voice was weak, I knew he was holding back tears.
"Yeah, let's go." I replied, I yelled to my mom and dad telling them I was spending the night and Frenchy's and Putzie and I left.
He wrapped an arm around me an kissed my cheek. I wasn't ready to tell anyone, but I knew that I was going to have to at Frosty's.
