"I'm here for an appointment for Doctor Shing?"
(Only thing I could think of sorry XD)
I said to the lady behind the desk.

"Oh! Michael? Yes, he's down the hall, room 138." She instructed.
"Thank you."

I moved from the desk area down the hall, looking for the room.

'132... 134... 135.. Ah! 138!'
"Hello? Doctor Shing?"
"Michael! Come in, come in!"
He greeted me from his computer.

I smiled and walked into the room.
"Take a seat there. I'll get to you in a second. Just filing things."
I hummed in response and took a seat on the very uncomfortable hospital bed.

I coughed a bit, making the doctor to quickly turn around in his chair.
"What's the matter?"

"I've been coughing and wheezing for almost a week now. And been feeling pain on my chest area."
I pointed to my lung chest area.
(You might be catching on if you payed any attention in health class... I didn't have it but I know this .3. Just not the doctor stuff... I don't know wtf they do tbh)

"I have an idea in my head of what you might have but it better not be true. Have you ever smoked at all in your years? Or been around it a lot?"
He questioned me.
I shook my head 'No.'

~*TineSkip after regular check ups because I'm lazy and it's 3:30 ish and I'm crying because the song Yuri On Ice just came on I'm sorry*~

"I have leads on the idea. Oh dear.. The only way to find out is to get you a scan. Come, we'll do it right now."
He turns around quickly and walks to the door, and waits for me.
I get up, coughed twice, and followed Doctor Shing out the door.
----------

"Lay there and I'll get you into the scan."
I coughed in response and got in.
I relaxed in the squishy, cone shaped bed thing and looked straight at the ceiling.
"Now, I'm going to turn this on and it's going to make a internal scan so, please make sure you don't move."
I hummed in response and sat still.

The machine turned on and a weird thing hovered around me with a laser coming to the top of my head to my foot.

"Great! Now, this nurse will take you to a area where you can wait until the scans are in."
I looked as I see a nurse by the door close by.
I got up and out of the bed to follow the nurse.

"Come with me Mr. Stev-"
"It's Michael. I'm okay with you saying Michael."

"O-oh okay."
......
Silence falls.
Awkward silence but..
Silence.

We continued our walk in silence-
(CAR RADIO SHUT UP NOOOOOOOOOOOO)
"We're here. It's just a little waiting room so make yourself at home."

"Thank you."
I walk in and she walks away.
'Good..'
I get my phone out of my pocket and turned it on.
'Already 2:30? I should call John..'

I got to my contacts list and saw The Dirt.
'I should change that soon..'
I clicked on the name and click the phone button.

Ring
...
Ring
...
"Red?"
"Hey dirt!"
"How's the appointment?"
"Meh.. I'm just waiting on scan results."
"Scan results?"
"Yeah.. I don't know why but Doctor Shing said he had an idea on what was around with me so he had to get a scan of me."
....
"John, I'm scared.."
"Don't be baby. Everything should be fine. Hey Red? Sorry I have to go. Adam is wanting things done so I have to leave. I love you. Tell me the results when you get home."
"O-oh.. Okay Barney.. I love you too."
"Bye."
"Bye."

Then we hung up.

"Who was that?"
I jumped at the sudden voice.
"Doctor Shing! Sorry if I kept you waiting.. It was just someone.."

"Haha! You can't fool me! I heard the man's voice. Congrats on the marriage."
"Wait, how did you know?"
"The ring. The voice. The 'I love yous.'"

....

"Anyway! I'm sorry in advance. I have HUGE bad news but good news."

Scared..
I was feeling scared.

"Micheal.. I'm sorry but.. You have Lung cancer."
.
.
.
.
.
"What?"
"I'm sorry again.. You have Lung cancer BUT! There's the good news! It's able to be cured! We caught it before it went to stage 2. There's 4 stages and if we caught it at either stage 3 or 4, we would only put you into treatment but we couldn't cure it. But since it's at stage 1 and going to 2, we're able to put you into surgery to get rid of it. But we might have to put you into chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these. But with you, maybe just surgery."

...
"I..I."
"I know it's hard to process this at once but that's okay. We're able to cure it. We just have to give you medication until we can do the surgery. We'll do it in a month or the month after next."

I'm still processing on what I was hearing.
"Doctor Shing, we have another patient for you ready."
A nurse, different from the other came to get the Doctor.

"Thank you for telling me. I'll be there in a few minutes. Okay, Michael, I'll get your medication order ready and once you leave here, go to the CVS nearby and they'll have your medication ready."
I nodded, coughed, and said my Thank Yous.
We both walked toward the desk area where we separated but before I walked out the door, I heard Shing call my name.

"Michael! I just want to say... Good luck!"
I nodded and walked outside.
....
I can't believe I have cancer...

I told you to come prepared.
I know you weren't.
