Chemotherapy wasn’t anything like becky expected... she expected the medicine to take over her body and burn, maybe her blood would be hot. However, once the IV was inserted becky felt a wave of relief.

Nita smiled as she saw becky loosen up “Not so bad right?”

becky joked
“The cancer or the chemo?”

Nita not being used to becky style humor just awkwardly laughed as she jotted notes down in becky chart.

As the medicine pumped through becky blood stream freen asked all the right questions.

“So what will be the side effects of this treatment? ...Just so we’re prepared”
freen wiped the tears dripping off her eyes as he watched becky fight to stay awake.

Well, to be honest with you it all just depends on how becky body reacts... There are several effects to chemotherapy, but being as though this is her first session, I don’t see much happening”

Nita got up to check becky IV before continuing.
“It could be a range of anything really, fatigue, easy bruising, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mouth sores and of course hair loss.”

becky looked over at Nita and slightly chucked
“Oh is that it?”

freen shaked her head at becky before speaking to Nita

she's just trying to be Mr. Funny guy over here, sorry about that.”

N

ita playfully responded
Oh no! Don’t be sorry. It’s better to have a sense of humor than not, don’t ya think?”

Exactly”
becky shrugged as she smiled at freen.

becky and freen made small conversation as the chemo pumped through becky body, freen occasionally rubbing becky back, holding her hand or kiss her forehead.

becky had grown semi-used to freen being affectionate, and sge was trying her best even still to roll with it, but sge understood freen was just trying to be comforted.

Becky knew that freen was afraid... terrified and the skinship was her way to calming herself down.
Becky knew very well that freen was suffering seeing her in that state, but all Becky could do was pray that this nightmare would end, regardless of the outcome, so that freen would be free again... without the look of fear in her eyes... At that moment, Becky was ready to give up her remaining months if that was the price of removing that terrified look, the tears in freen eyes and the fear that was evident on her face.

When the chemotherapy was over and they rode home the pair made small conversation, freen didn’t want to annoy becky with how worried she was so she tried her best to keep everything as normal as possible.

When becky and freen got home they decided it would be best to take a nap, freen ran her fingers through becky hair until she heard becky snoring and then cuddled up with her warm body and fell asleep herself.

freen knew the road ahead would be a very long and tiring one But she was ready to do anything to see Becky in good health again, carrying on with her life and activities as before.

Freen missed the chaotic, active girl who filled the house with the sounds of her video games or her enthusiasm and boldness when she chase her and tried to have sex with her everywhere all day on holidays when they stay at home most of their time...freen miss the old days and she's ready to fight to get everything back ... to get becky back.
