Today was Sunday and time for my doctors appointment. I changed into my clothes and brushed my teeth. Jacob said he wanted to go to the doctors appointment with me, and so did all of my friends. I ran downstairs to see them all in my living room. "You guysss!" I ran gave the girls a big group hug. "Hi," Jacob said, grabbing my hand. Lilia wiggled her eyebrows at me. I giggled and walked into the kitchen with Jacob. "Is it time to go yet?" I asked my mom. "Yeah, we can leave now." I was actually pretty nervous. I was scared that the cancer has gotten worse. I took a deep breath and walked outside. Someone's car was sitting in our driveway. "Mom, who's car is that?" She looked at me and held both of my hands. "Because you only have a couple months left, I went out and bought this car. I want you to live your life as full as possible." My mom unlocked the car and we sat in the car. "Now, I never said your dad was too happy about this so let's just keep it on the low." I laughed. My dad was a surgeon, so he made a lot of money. My mom used to be a surgeon, too. That's how my parents met. Once they had Ethan, she stopped working so she could take care of Ethan. Then Ellie and I came along. I find out funny how my dad makes the money but my mom spends it.

We arrived at the doctors office and I was more nervous then ever. I stepped inside the office and spoke to the receptionist. "Hi, Emma Wells. 10:00 appointment." The lady scrolled through her computer. "He will be with you shortly." We found a spot to sit down and I pulled out my phone. I snapped a picture of the doctors office and posted it. 'At the doctors office... 😖'

Not long after we sat down, I heard my name called. "Emma Wells?" I sat up and rushed back. Only my mom was allowed back, so I waved to my friends. I entered the room and sat down. I've never felt like this before. I was so nervous. This was my first time being back in a doctors office since what happened with Stacey. The doctors ran their tests and talked a bunch with my mom.

After what seemed like hours, my doctor came back and sat down on the stool beside me. "Well, I've got good news and bad news. Good news or bad news first?" I think I wanted bad news first... I'm not sure. "Bad news." The doctor shuffled through some papers till he reached a blue paper. "Bad news... your cancer is not curable." I let that sink in for a moment. It's not curable? My mom had been saving money up since she found out I had cancer in hopes that we could find a treatment. "Good news... the cancer is not as bad as it was." That definitely made me feel better. Maybe I'm getting better? No, the doctors told me first thing that that wasn't a possibility. A few more doctors came in and discussed a lot with my mom.

InWe walked back into the lobby after signing some papers. We cleared everything with the receptionist and walked out. It was around 11:30 now. "Do you guys want to go to Sky Zone?" My mom asked us. Kat screamed, "YES!" We all laughed. She loved Sky Zone. It was like her favorite place.
