Hope for a new life
Chapter one
I'm pretty sure the doctor was still talking, but I couldn't even begin to process what he was saying, I was still in shock, completely frozen in time, unaware of my surrounding with just one word floating through my brain, that one word that I dreaded, that I despised - that absolutely killed me inside. Cancer. That one word, so small and innocent brought terror into people homes, that tortured people in the most horrifying way of making them ask what now? The five-letter and two syllable word scared me to the brink of death. Cancer. Of course there was also the 'terminal' bit I had to worry about but for now, it was cancer.
"Bella ... Isabella?"
"Huh?" I asked. My full name finally bringing me back to the land of the living, apparently the doctor had been trying to gather my attention for a few minutes because he was looking at me very sympathetically. "Are you alright Bella? I know it's a lot to take it right now but you do have options. There's no need to be scared. We have some very high trained doctors looking at your blood results now." I internally rolled my eyes, of course HE could say that, he wasn't someone who had a fatal disease crawling round his body that was both painful and life threatening, he couldn't just not expect me to be scared. But I refrained from showing my annoyance. Instead I replied with a much to gracious,
"Thank you doctor Morgan".
Not a problem Bella, now we've caught the disease very early on so we have a very good chance at eliminating the cancer soon, we're going to start you on chemo-therapy. And in slightest chance you are unresponsive I'm going to make an appointment at Seattle hospital for you, to get you into radiology, for next week maybe?"
"That would be great, thank you doctor Morgan".
After I had left fork's one and only hospital – being careful to avoid the emergency rooms- I thought long and hard about how a simple check up had gone from being so... Well simple, to me having terminal cancer. I outwardly winced at the thought and wondered how I was meant to tell Charlie.
