Ch. 3- Just a Little Drizzle
"Cancer?" Hank said. He had not been excepting this.
"Yes. The cells in your neck were positive for Cancer. Hodgkin's Lymphoma develops in the lymph system, and is 1 % of all Cancer cases. It usually hits men ages 15 - 35." Anna started.
"What did the CT Scan and biopsy say?" David Beecham replied.
"The CT Scan shows that the lymph network is clean and the biopsy was negative so the Cancer hasn't spread yet."
Yet? Hank thought.
"The cells of your lymph system is starting to divide at will, which is breaking down the immune system, so the Cancer is able to spread to other organs." Anna said to Hank.
"So, what is your course of action?" Dr. Beecham replied sounding very much like a doctor.
"Hank will stat chemo on the oncology floor, I'm going to refer you to Dr. Lopez. She's the best oncologist at this hospital." Anna said leaving. "Don't worry, Hank. We've caught this thing early. You have a good chance."
"Hello, I'm Dr. Elena Lopez." a tall, young woman said coming into Hank's hospital room.
"Like Dr. Fouler started saying. Hank will start initial doses of chemo in the hospital to see how he tolerates the drugs and to determine a right combination."
"Will I have to stay in the hospital for chemo?" Hank asked.
"No. We'll insert a Port- A- Cath under your skin near the collor bone, so the chemo can be administered without having to stick you all the time. The catheter opening will be on the outside. You'll be able to restart school and daily activities once your on the program." Dr. Lopez stated. "I know this is a lot to take in all at once, but we must start you on the treatments soon. We'll start tomorrow." she said looking at Dr. Beecham who nodded.
"I'll leave you alone now. We'll talk more later."
Hank was astonished,. This couldn't be happening, not to him, and all David could think of was not again….
