"I have a feeling you two may need some time alone. I'll be back in a bit to discuss what comes next." The doctor said, then turned and walked quietly out of the room.
I nodded and thanked him quietly, then made my way over to Phil's side in a daze. I wasn't quite sure how to comfort him or what to say.
"D-Dan......I don't w-want to die...." Phil sobbed, breath coming out in gasps even with the oxygen mask's help.
"Phil, you're not going to die. Come here." I said shakily. I scooted onto the edge of his bed and leaned down, holding him to the best of my ability. "Everything's gonna be okay. You're stronger than the cancer. Right?" I said encouragingly.
"I don't know. All you ever hear about is cancer patients dying. My great aunt died of lung cancer." He mumbled.
I pressed my hands to his warm, tear stained face and looked into his eyes. "We'll get through this. I promise."
But deep down, I wasn't so sure. What if Phil did die? What would I do without him?
