Chapter 3: Options
Chandler sat in the doctor's office with Monica beside him. He knew he probably wouldn't be able to handle it alone so she decided to come with him. "Are you okay?" she asked softly "Yeah I guess" he whispered "I…I just wish this wasn't happening" She nodded "I know" she was silent for a few minutes "Are you going to tell the guys" she asked "Yeah I will but I want to know exactly what I'm dealing with before I say anything to them" The doctor walked in "Hello Mr. Bing" he greeted "Hi and its Chandler" he whispered "Okay Chandler and who's this" he asked looking at Monica. Chandler took her hand in his "This is my girlfriend Monica" She couldn't hide the smile that formed when he introduced her as his girlfriend.
Dr. Kovach smiled "Its nice to meet you Monica" She didn't saying thing she just nodded a little. "Okay" he said sitting down "We have some stuff to talk about Chandler" He looked at the file in his hand and then back at him " There are several forms of Leukemia the one you have is acute myeloid leukemia or AML" Chandler nodded "So uh, what umm, what do we do" he asked "Well what I'd like to do is start you on Chemo as soon as possible" Monica looked at the doctor "Then will he be alright" she asked "I couldn't really say" he answered "Once he's had Chemo he'll most likely need a bone marrow transplant"
Chandler knew what a bone marrow transplant was he also knew the most likely match was usually found in a sibling. "I'm screwed," he whispered. "Why would you say that Chandler" Dr. Kovach asked, "Bone marrow matches are usually found in siblings but I don't have any" he whispered. "Yes that's true but matches have been found in parents, other family members and even friends," he said. "Well I haven't seen my dad in years and who knows where my mom is and I don't really have any other family so like I said I'm screwed." he whispered sadly.
Monica squeezed his hand gently "The doctor said it could be a friend too maybe one of us will be a match" He sighed "Yeah maybe, but I couldn't ask one of you guys to go through that for me" he looked down. She lifted his chin so he was looking at her. "You wouldn't have to ask Chandler we love you we'd want to do this for you" she whispered. "Besides we have time to worry about finding a match you still have to get through Chemo" The doctor nodded "She's right we have about a month or so to find a match" Chandler sighed softly "Okay so when do I start Chemo" he asked "I'd like to get you admitted to the hospital tonight"
Chandler nervously ran his hand through his hair "Uh, yeah okay, I uh, I need to tell my friends what's happening first" The doctor nodded "Alright you can just come back here after you've talked to them and we'll get you admitted and started on Chemo" he said. "Okay th…thanks," he whispered. Dr. Kovach nodded as he left the room. Chandler just sat there quietly. "How am I gonna tell them Mon" he whispered. "It'll be okay honey we can tell them together" He nodded "I'm so glad you're here Mon I…I don't think I'd be able to handle all this with out you" She smiled a little "I promised I would be didn't I" she whispered "Monica Geller never breaks a promise" He sighed "Well I guess we better go find the guys" he stood up, pulling her up with him.
