Sickness - 911 Lone Star

Yn's pov:

I've been feeling sick for the past few days. I'm going to see the doctor today. They do some tests. The next day, the doctor told me to come back in.

"Yn, I'm afraid your cancer is back," the doctor says. No. It can't be. How would I work. I'd lose my job. "Yn did you hear me?" He asks. "Sorry, what?" I say. "We need to start Chemo right away," he says. I can work. "Okay," I say. I've been through this before. I know how it works. "Tomorrow work?" He asks. "Yeah," I say. I took a week of sick time.

I go home and sit down. I can't tell them. They'll make me stop working. But I need the money to pay for the chemo. I can't not work. What do I do. I'll just have to tough it out. Try to hide it.

I walk in the firehouse. I'm still a little weak from the Chemo. "Hey Yn, you feeling better?" Marjan asks. "Yeah, I am," I say. A little while later, I walk into the bathroom and start puking. "You ok?" Nancy asks. "Y Yeah," I say. I wipe my face and come out of the stall. I smile. I did a good job of hiding it for about a week.

I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I feel so weak. I don't know how long I can keep this up. I take my pills and walk back out. "Yn can I talk to you?" Owen asks. "Yeah, sure," I say. We walk to his office. "Are you ok?" He asks. "Yeah," I say. I need the money for the treatment. I have to push through.

A few days later. We're in the kitchen, and I run to the trash can and start puking. "Are you okay?" Marjan asks. I look at them. "No.." I say. "I um.. my.. cancer relapsed.." I say, my voice breaking. "I've been doing chemo for the past few weeks," I say. Everyone looks at me. "Oh yn.. why didn't you tell us?" Nancy asks. "I need the money to pay for the treatment," I say. "We could've helped you with that yn," Marjan says. I feel so weak. I can't stay awake.

Marjan's pov:

We can all see she's about to pass out. Tk runs behind her before she does. We put her in her bunk. "We should let her sleep," Tommy says. "I can't believe she's been pushing herself that hard," I say. "I know," Nancy says. "I knew something was wrong. How did I not notice it before," Owen says. "Hey, don't beat yourself up, none of us noticed," I say. "Healthcare is so messed up that people have to basically work themselves to death to pay for treatments for something thats already killing them," Tk says. "I know," Owen says. "It's sad," Tommy says.
