I Don't Want The Surgery

(A/N: just want you all to know that I have no idea of what I'm talking about cause I'm not a doctor. The closest I ever got was watching Greys Anatomy hahaha)

Two Days Later

"Page Dr.Monteith RIGHT NOW!" I shouted analyzing the results of Claire Henderson exams. This sucks. Minutes later Cory walked into the room. "Take a look." I said and he grabbed the exams and put on the light and looked to the exams.  I knew something was wrong, the bad feeling I was having got worse this morning and now I see the results.

Now everything makes sense.

"Damn." He said. Claire started with a cancer in her skin but now it spread trough her body and reached her brain. "Age?"

"15." I said and he sighed. "Please tell me she has a chance."

"Honey, you're a doctor. Look for yourself." He said with a sad voice.

"No, please, look again with careful eyes. I'm not asking you as a Dr. now, I'm asking as your wife." I said and he look at me sympathetic and look the exams again and sighed sad.

"Where did it started?" He asked.

"Skin." I said.

"Did spread to any other organs?" He asked.

"No, at least, not yet. It's spreading fast. The chemio and radiation aren't working anymore, it did in the beginning. But when we did the check up, that happened." I said pointing to the tumor on the exams.

"It's bad and complicated, it's in her temporal lobe. And it's enrolled into many arteries, if one of them break, it's over, she probably will die. And if she doesn't, she may lose her memory or be deaf or both. It's too risk, because it's too big. Even if I try to take the tumor out, it's too risk. The chances of her to get out of the table alive are minimal and if she does, the consequences doesn't worth it. The probability of her getting into a coma or have a brain dead, it's huge." Cory said. "It's not operable, any neurosurgeon would try because of the risks. I don't want to operate that. And I strongly advice the family to not to. I think she will rather have a few good months than a horrible lifetime."

"Oh God..." I said really really sad. Claire is the first patient that I really got attached. I can't believe in this. "I need to talk to her family. Gosh this sucks in so many levels. Poor Claire."

"You really like her, don't you?" He asked sympathetic and I sighed.

"I love that girl, Claire is amazing. She's funny, life just sucks, ya know? She's kind to everyone, funny, young and beautiful. She has a life in front of her and she's probably going to die." I said and Cory sighed.

"Let's do like this, call the family and ask them to come over. IF they insist on the surgery and Claire agrees with it as well, I'll search for ways to save her, call neurosurgeons and do everything in my power to make it happen and she be okay." He said and I look at him hopefully and smiled.

My man is also an angel.

"Really?" I asked hopefully.

"Depends of the circumstances." He said.

"You are the most perfect human being alive, seriously." I said to him. "But now I have to call her family." I said and pecked his lips and went outside to call Claire's family.

"Dr. is everything okay? Who is he?" Claire's mother asked looking to Cory.

"Mom, this is the other Dr.Monteith, Dr.Lea's husband. I told ya she wasn't around because she was in honeymoon." Claire said making everyone laugh.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm Dr.Cory Monteith, the chief of neurosurgery here in the Hospital." Cory said and shook her parents hands.

"Neurosurgery? What?" The father asked and Cory explained everything and the risks.

Her parents look worried, her mom is on the verge of tears. But Claire looks...normal?

"We're really sorry. Take your time to consider all the avaible options you have." I said.

"I don't need time, I need my daughter, I know it's risk but miracles happen, right?" Her mom asked with tears streaming down her face.

"I don't want the surgery." Claire said and everyone was shocked. "I don't wanna die, but I will. If not today, someday. And to die now or later, what's the point? If I die now, at least, I'll remember the amazing life I had before the cancer. I don't want to be deaf or lose my memory. Dr.Monteith, I know you're REALLY talented and an amazing doctor, I don't doubt that, I don't know you but I know what your wife tells me and you're really good. But I don't want the surgery."

"Claire..." Her dad said.

"I don't want the surgery." Claire said. "I'll die, I know that. But how much time I have?"

"Considering the size of the tumor, one or two months." Cory said.

"So I'll make it the best two months of my life." Claire said.

"I know you don't wanna the surgery, but you're 15 and it's still your parents decision." Cory said and I can tell he's a little sad. If she doesn't take the surgery she'll die and it's never easy to lose anyone.

"Are you 100% sure you don't want the surgery?" Her mom asked sad.

"I am." Claire said.

"Claire..." He dad said.

"I think is better for we give you guys some privacy." I said and me and Cory left Claire's room. I'm so sad right now.

"This sucks!" I said frustrated.

"I know it does, I'm so sorry." Cory said.

"Claire is not just a patient, I know she was meant to the greatest things in life." I said.
