This is a true story about me on May 19,2016 when I first found out that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I first heard the discouraging news, I was very upset. When I found out it was treatable, I was glad to hear it. In this story, I will be putting Michelangelo in my place and Donatello in the doctor"s place.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT.
One day during a full examination, Donnie felt a lump on the upper left side of Mikey's plastron. "Mikey I am noticing a lump on the upper left side of your plastron and so I need to do a biopsy on you." Michelangelo looked puzzled and confused. " A bi what?" Donatello Repeated, " A biopsy. that means you lay down on this cot and let me take a small sample of your plastron and then I test that sample." Michelangelo looked worried. "Will this hurt D?" Donatello looked at Michelangelo and said, "No Mikey. You will not feel a thing. Come lay down and I will be done before you know it." Michelangelo nervously walked over to where Donnie was pointing and laid down. Before Donnie started, Leonardo said to Michelangelo, "Don't worry Mikey Donnie knows what he is doing." That made Michelangelo feel a little better. With that Donnie gave Mikey some medication to numb the right side of his plastron. Then after that Donnie took a small piece of Mikey's plastron so that he could do the biopsy. Donnie then put a band-aid where the small piece of plastron was taken. "Ok Mikey I have the sample now I need to do the biopsy so you are free to leave and I will let you know when I have the results." Mikey Got up and left the lab.
Donnie worked hard with sample only to discover that his younger brother had plastron cancer. Donnie walked out of the lab to tell everyone the sad news. "well Mikey I have good news and bad news for you." Mikey looked at Donnie. "what is the bad news D?" Donnie put his hand on Mikey's shoulder. "The bad news is that you have plastron cancer." Leonardo looked up. "what is the good news?" Donnie Answered. "The good news is that it is treatable and it is only stage 1." Donnie looked at Mikey "I can do surgery and remove your plastron and I can make you a new one." Mikey Looked down at his plastron and then looked at Donnie. "Can we try and save my plastron?" Donnie answered kindly. "we can but there is a 3% chance that it can come back if we save your old plastron." Mikey looked down at his plastron then looked at Donnie. "Then just get rid of the old plastron and put a new one on D." Donnie looked at Mikey and said to Mikey. "Smart choice Mikey. Smart choice. We will commence surgery on July 8th of this year."
