10: Is It Even Possible

CHAPTER 10

*Mia's POV*

~New Years Day~

I sat in the hospital waiting room with my mom. I could hear her nervously tapping her foot, a habit of hers. Just being in that place made me feel nauseous, remembering the time I had to spend there, going through preparations and examinations. I had just gotten another MRI so the doctors could check the progression of the cancer growth. I was trying not to be too hopeful, but I couldn't help feeling that maybe I got lucky, maybe I would be okay.

If you're wondering, I had the best Christmas I've had in years. Along with all the new clothes I picked out, my mom got me a vial of some super fancy Michael Kors perfume. Amy had picked up a whole collection of body sprays and lotions from one of the local shops, and I had wrapped up the sweater we had both tried to grab at Pink, knowing she had really liked it. Finally, Dylan, being the sweet boy he is, got me a little Tiffany bracelet. The band was made up of silver hearts, and the word 'forever' was engraved on the inside. I was not only extremely grateful for the extravagant gifts, but also for the people I had in my life who were willing to give them to me.

"Mia Meyers?" a voice called. I jerked my head up to see a solemn looking nurse who I didn't recognize. My mom and I slowly walked towards her, terrified. Once we were standing in front of her, she gave a sympathetic smile and asked if we could step into a different room for privacy. Once the door was closed, the nurse gave us the news.

"Okay. We have a two options here." She began. My mom nodded, signaling her to continue.

"We can proceed with regular treatment, chemo therapy, to be exact. However, the cancerous cells have... well, they've spread faster than we expected. We can not guarantee that treatment will get rid of the infected cells, but there is a chance it may help." The nurse explained. My mom tilted her head back to stop her tears from flowing.

"And the other option?" She choked out.

"You're other choice is to avoid any treatment. If that is the choice you make, then you will have approximately one year to live." The older nurse told us. I choked back a sob, not able to comprehend what she was saying.

"How long will I have if I do go through chemo?" I asked through my tears. The woman shifted uncomfortably.

"Well, if the treatment doesnt work, you'll still have the same life expectancy. It will not extend your time. However, if we manage to completely remove the cancerous cells, then you will live." She explained.

"Is it even possible?" I whispered, "Tell me the truth." I added for good measure.

"It is possible, but highly unlikely." the nurse looked down, unable to meet our gazes. I wondered if it was even worth it to go through treatment. They obviously didn't think it would work. I glanced at my mom, who was sobbing uncontrollably into her hands. Then I made up my mind: if I was going to go down, I was going to go down fighting.

"When do I start treatment?" I asked, determined. The nurse smiled weakly, making it seem like I was working for a hopeless cause. Which I basically was, but... whatever.
