My fight against Breast Cancer

11

A month has past. I just came from my second treatment session. Dr. Price or Matthew as I call him now, gives me 3 days off if I had my treatments cause it makes me a bit nauseous and sick. Elliot did came to apologize to me and told me I can get my job back. But I turned him down. I love working with Dr. Price. I only work from 7 till 5 now. Which gives way more time to exercise and make me something healthy to eat. But Edwin takes care of the dinner. He got a job at the Seattle newspaper as a journalism. And Kayla said he can move in permanently. I still go to the meetings every week. 

I put my purse down and laid down on the couch. I closed my eyes and put my arm on my head. I felt the chemo working his work through me. I sighed.

"I hate this." I said softly. I slowly drift off in sleep.

After a while I wake up and I see my shoes were off and I had a blanket over me. I sit up and look around and I hear someone in the kitchen. I get up and go to the kitchen and Edwin were busy with dinner. He looks up when I enter and he smiles at me. 

"Hi." he says. 

"Hey. What time is it?"

"Just after 5. I got here an hour ago. I saw you were asleep and I took your shoes off and put a blanket over you to make you more comfortable."

"Oh... Thanks I guess." 

He nods at me and smiles and he continues making dinner. I go upstairs and change into shorts and a t-shirt. I get a notepad and go back to the kitchen. I sit at the counter and start thinking about this bucket list I should make. I had a few things in mind but just haven't written them down.

"What are you writing there?"

"I'm suppose to make a bucket list for the group thing."

"Oh. Can I see it?" 

I glare at him.

"I guess not." he shrugs and I chuckled.

I continued writing and Kayla comes in.

"Hey." she says and she sits down next to me. I just finished my list and she looks at the paper.

"What's this?" she asks and takes the paper. 

"That's private." I said and I try to take it from her but she pulls it away from me.

"What is it?"

"My bucket list." 

"Why are you making this?"

"Quinn said at the meeting I should make one and start doing things that I always wanted to. She said it helps to stay positive in this thing."

"Okay. Well you and I don't have secrets so I'm reading this. Lets see what is on here."

I sighed and look down to the counter. 

"First one. Get a car. I totally agree on that." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Second one. Get a tattoo. A tattoo?" she asks.

"Yeah. I always wanted to get one. I want one on my shoulder blade."

"And who will see it? You don't wear tank tops anymore."

"I will see it."

She shakes her head and chuckles. "Smoke weed. What?"

"They say it helps with cancer." 

"That's true." Edwin says. Kayla nods and chuckles.

"Well get you some. Next one. Go to Las Vegas and play poker. You always seem to love that game." she says and I chuckled. "We'll make a plan." she says. I just nod.
