Dan walked through the doors of the dull white building. He slumped in his chair and refrained himself from crying. He had an obsession with dignity, if he cried, it would break. If people saw him cry, there would be none left.
Dan waited for around 10 minutes, fiddling with a lose piece of cotton on the (very uncomfortable) seat.
"Daniel Howell" the nurse said calmly, but loud enough to silence the small talk for a brief moment.
Dan got up slowly and took his own time following her to the room.
"Take a seat Daniel" the male doctor gestured towards a seat that looked to be the exact same as the one he had just left.
"Dan do you remember, last time we took some blood tests?" The doctor asked sincerely.
Of course dan remembered. He remembered the pain, he remembered the anxiety.
"Yes" dan says politely.
"Then you'll remember the X-ray?" The doctor asked quietly, gradually getting to his point.
"Yes"
"Have a look" the doctor said sternly.
On a computer that was facing dan, showed an X-ray of Dans stomach, including lungs and all other things.
Except, one of the lungs seemed a bit different to the other.
It was a bit brighter, a bit spottier, bigger. It seemed to have a large tube growing from its side.
Dans heart dropped immediately. That wasn't a tube, it was a tumour, and they weren't spots, they were blood clots.
"Dan we urge you not to give up" the doctor starts
"But we have done research and it looks to be large cell carcinoma, a rare type of cancer found in around 10% of patients" the doctor finishes with a deep breath, knowing he had just destroyed a life, yet sort of saved one at the same time.
"What can we do" dan asks, see the problem was, dan had already given up. He had already crumbled to his knees more and more times than imagined. The only reason he even slightly wanted to be alive was Phil.
"Radiation and chemo, surgery. I'm sorry dan but there's really not enough research for this type of cancer" the doctor says sympathetically.
"Okay" dan says, wiping a single grey tear that leaked from his dark eyes.
WOAH OKAY I HAD TO DO A LOT OF RESEARCH FOR THIS AND IM GONNA HAVE TO DO A LOT MORE SO IM SORRY ITS SHORT BUT HERE U GO HAHAHAHAHA IM SO SORRY
