Diagnosed
Elise woke up the next morning with a headache and a huge stomach ache. She looked around and saw that she was in the hospital. "Ugh, how did I end up here?"she said. Her mom looked over at her. "Oh thank god you're awake!" her mom cried relieved. "huh, of course I'm awake why wouldn't I be awake?" she said confused. "You were out for a few days" her mom said. "oh" was all she could say. "I'll go get a nurse and tell her you're awake" her said, smiling softly as she left the room. Elise was left wondering how got there. She really no idea what had happened. A few minutes later her mom came back with nurse. "Ah Elise it's great to see that you're awake." Elise smiled and sat up a little bit. "Doctor, can you please tell me what happened"she said. "So what's the news doctor?" her mom asked. "We have some bad news and some good news. But I'll tell you first how you ended up as you probably can't remember." the nurse said. Elise looked at the hopefull and scared for the outcome. "You got her by your friends. They found you puking a lot of blood and on your way here passed out from the blood loss. We did some tests on you and you didn't wake up for a 4 days." the nurse said. Elise started remembering what happened that night. "Now can you tell us the news first?" Mrs. Smith said. "Well..." the nurse let out a sigh "... the good news is that there wasn't an internal bleeding as we thought. You can go home today but you have to come by and make an appointment with a doctor to let us take X-ray foto's." the nurse explained. "Wh-Why?" Elise asked. "Why, What's wrong with my daughter?" Mrs. Smith asked concerned. "Well, That's the bad news." the nurse said and gave them an apologetic look "Your daughter might have cancer." They both burst into tears. "OMG! no" Elise exclaimed. "H-how, are you sure that it's cancer?!" her mom said. "While we were doing the tests we found these little flecks on her lungs. But to know for sure we need to take some X-rays. Now we can either do that later today or tomorrow." the nurse said calmly. "Elise when are you going to do it." her mom asked. "uhm, can we do it today maybe? I want to know as soon as possible if I really have it or not." Elise said. Her mom looked kind of scared for her daughter but said to the nurse that today was good. The left saying she was going to arrange an appointment. "Oh god, I can not believe this is happening." Mrs. Smith said, going what her hands through her hair. Elise just nodded not being able to get out a word as she was crying again. She looked at her daughter and saw the fear in her eyes. "You know you're really brave right." "Yeah I know mom, but I am so scared to find out." With that her mom gave her a tight hug. After a while the nurse came back. "If it's okay with you we can take the photos right now." the nurse said. Elise looked at her mother and she gave a nod. "Okay Elise you can come with me. Is it okay if your mom waits here or do you want her to come with you?" the nurse asked. Her mom said that she'd wait there. The nurse took her to take the photos.
"What's taking them so long!" Elise said, really nervous. "Liz, calm down! Before you have a nervous breakdown!" the twins said. Elise glared at them. Her friends had come to the hospital and her mom had filled them in on everything. They were both in shock for a while. A few minutes later the nurse came back with the results of the foto's. "Now it has been confirmed..."Elise gave her mom and her friends a hopefull look "...that..." Her mom squeezed her hand and smiled at her.
"... what we thougth was true." Her friends gazed at the nurse in shock. "We're sorry to inform you but you have been diagnosed with lung cancer..." her mom started crying "...and you have been living with it for almost a year now." the nurse informed them. "Is there any other bad news?" Elise asked. "Yes, because you have living for this long without any treatment you only have 6 months left to live." the nurse like it wasn't a big deal. That's when her whole world came crashing down. You only have 6 months left to live. That sentence kept spinning around in her mind so much that she only heard vaguely that they were saying something about chemo therapie. So didn't really know what she was doing but the next thing she knew was that she was on the hallway of the hospital sitting against a wall with her thoughts spinning a thousand miles a minute making her dizzy. Her friends immediately ran after her and brought her back. After that she explained to her that her mother said she was going to try chemo therapie. The nurse also explained what it was and that she was going to come in every 2 weeks. She said she could call if there was something wrong.
