Chapter 9

Maia's POV

The day finally finished at we could go home. Luke came back to mine and we snuggled up watching movies, which was good. My cancer has gone and I'm hoping it won't come back. I have a check up tomorrow for it which Luke is coming to support me. I'm scared. I'm scared of what the results will be. I'd rather not know to be honest. Just little results could change my life. The one thing I know for sure is that I will never stop fighting no matter now hard or easy it might be. I'm so glad that Luke is going, if I wasn't with with him I have no idea what I would do without him.  Luke ended up staying the night at my house. 

The next morning I woke up and stayed in bed for a bit as it was a Saturday. Luke woke up arond the same time as I did. At 9am we decided to get up as my appointment was in an hour. I got up and dressed. When I finished getting ready it was 9.45 and my appointment was at 10am so it left plenty of time to get to the hospital. 

We got there on time and they ran some tests on me to make sure that it hadn't come back. I waited for about an hour with Luke to wait for the results. I just wanted to know if I had cancer or not. It was the most anxious moment of my life ever! Finally a doctor came over to us. I had a strange feeling it wasn't good news but my feelings don't finalize that I have cancer again. 

"Maia? Can I talk to you in private please?" The doctor said. I nodded and stood up.  

He took me to a small room on the same floor. I closed the door behind me and took a seat. 

"Maia, I'm afraid that the cancer has come back but there's things you can do to change it like changing what you eat. I've got some leaflets for you to take home. You can have chemo and radiotherapy but you can also eat healthily which will help it go. After I got up and went back to Luke and broke down into tears. I needed to let all the emotion out that built  up inside of me out of my body. Luke just hugged me and let me cry which is all I needed. We went home.

When we got home Luke stayed at mine for a bit. I told him what the doctor had said to me. He understood. The thing about Luke is that he will always be there for me no matter what. I should text Eve to tell her the news. I picked up my phone and started writing a new text. 

To Eve:

Hey, I just came back from the hospital and my cancer is back. Ugh I'm so sick of it. xxx

 Eve texted me back a few minutes later. 

From Eve: 

It'll be fine hun! Don't worry I know exactly how you feel, it sucks. xxx

I didn't text back after that. I needed to get out of the house. So I went for a walk. 

"I need a walk, you wanna come?" I asked Luke.

"Yeah sure, unless you want to go alone and clear your head about the cancer?" he replied.

"If you're sure, I will ring Eve and get her to come with me" I said. 

"Yeah sure, that's fine. I will stay here and watch TV, I know how to work it and stuff. It'll be fine!" he said. 

I quickly pecked him on the lips before walking out the room with my phone in one hand and my oxygen sack dragging behind me in the other. I phoned Eve.

"Hello?" she asked picking up her mobile.

"Hey, I'm going for a walk to clear my head about the cancer and what I should do. Do you want to come and help me make a decision?" I asked.

"Yeah sure, where should I meet you?" 

 "I will come by your house, I will be there in 10 minutes" I said walking out the door and on my way to Eve. I plugged my headphones into my iPod and started walking to Eva's.

10 Minutes later I arrived.  

I just walked walked in like I usually do. I went up to her room and walked in. 

"Heya, you ready?" I asked.

"Yeah, shall we go?"

"Come on" I said dragging her out of the door.

We walked to the park and sat on the swings for a bit.

"I just don't know what to do" I said.

"About what?" She asked.

"Everything" I replied. I sighed. "Cancer. Ugh i'm so fed up with it. Should I got through chemo again? What about radio therapy? What about Luke? I don't really want to put him through me having cancer"

"Look, I think that you should do what's right for you and you have your family that will support you every step and Luke loves you more than anything and he will always be there for you when you need him" She said.

"Thank you so much" I said pulling her in for a hug.

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah" I said.

We walked back to my house and Eva walked on to hers. When I got home I walked up to my room to find Luke still on my bed watching TV. I walked over to him and kissed him on the lips.

"Hey, I just want to say thank you for always being here for me and never giving up on me" I said.

"It's alright hun, I would do anything for you" He said.  

"Awww thank you hun" 

"It's alright, did you have a good walk?" 

"Yeah it was good thank you, I made a load of decisions. I need to phone the hospital as I'm having chemo and radio therapy again"

"Alright babe, go and phone the hospital, before you forget" He said. I got up and walked out of the room.

I dialed the hospitals number and waited until someone picked up. Eventually they did.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey, I'm Maia and had a test yesterday to see if my cancer had come back and it has. I would like to go ahead with radio and chemo therapy if that's alright?" I asked.

"Of course it is Maia. When would you like to make an appointment?" She asked.

"I would like chemo before I have radio therapy. Please can I have my first dose of chemo on Saturday if that's possible?" I asked.

"Yes, of course it is"

"Thank you, bye" I said.

"Bye" She said before hanging up.  

 I walked back into my room. 

"My first chemo session is Saturday, please can you come with me?" I asked Luke.

"Of course I can" He said. I cuddled up to him and he put an arm around me still watching TV. This was what I wanted the rest of my life to be like. I thought before my eyes got heavy and I drifted off to a deep sleep.
