"We were right. Its cancer, you have cancer all through your left breast."
Scott looked at the doctors, "this can be taken out right." "Its operable,
but I don't know if it spread. That will be determined after the surgery."
We exchanged a looked of slight relief. "Then we will schedule the surgery
for the 12 of June." I looked at the doctor, "that long." I was the next
week, but it still seemed like forever. "Mrs. Summers, that's the soonest
we can get you in. if we have any cancellations, well call you." I stepped
out of the room and left Scott to talk to the doctor. My sister and mother
were waiting in the waiting room. I walk out and looked at them, "well?" I
blinked a tear away, "it came back positive." Sara got up and hurried over
to me and hugged me, "I'm sorry." My mom was to busy crying in the corner
chair.
"Sir, that's my wife, I want you to do anything in your power to stop her from hurting." Scott got up and walked over to the doctor, "I'll pay any price; I just don't want to lose her." The old aged man looked Scott in the eyes, or where it would be, "I promise, I will personally take care of this woman if I have to." Scott looked around quickly gave the doctor a hug and stepped out of the room. "Mrs. Grey" he walked over to my mom and sat next to her, "don't cry please." He handed her a Kleenex.
We all went back to the mansion and called the xmen to the rec room. We all sat don and I stood up, "something has happened. Its serious, and we have to tell all of you because you are our family as well as them." I said in reference to my mother and sister. Scott put his hand on my shoulder in support. "I have breast cancer, I'm going into surgery on next Wednesday." Everyone started to talk at the same time, "now, I know this is a shock, but we can't fall to it. I have the greatest faith in my doctors." I tried to be strong but a tear squeaked out of my eye. "I don't mean for this to sound like a lecture, but does anyone have any questions?" rogue started to talk, "what are they going to do in the surgery?" I had sat down and from my place in the chair I started to explain, "I'll have a complete mastectomy of my left breast, which means there going to take it all off. I'll stay in the hospital a couple of days and I'll come out. They gave me this movie that shows the procedure." I put it into the VCR and hit play. After about half an hour, it ended and I took it out, "that's what's going to happen to me."

I got out of the car and looked at the tall building that seemed so final to me. Ororo put her hand on my back and gave me a little nudge. The stars glittered in the early dawn sky. I walked into the doors and was put into a wheelchair. I waved at everyone that had come to support me and then I was pushed off into the halls of the hospital. They had me dress in a hospital gown and lay down on bed in my room. I sat up and looked in a mirror. I couldn't believe I was getting this done; I would look so incomplete after this. The door opened at Scott came in. I got up and hugged him.
"I'm not ready for this." I said while we hugged. "Neither am I, but this is the only way. You have to." The anesthesiologists came in, "are you ready?" I kissed Scott's cheek and sent him back to the waiting room. They put in IV and wheeled me into the OR. "jean, count slowly backward from 20." I did as he said, got to 8 and passed out.
