"it's Glioma." "What's that?" She got confused, glioma? What is that? She had never heard of that word before. "It's a type of a brain tumor and in your case, we still don't know if it's malignant or benign, since we haven't done the biopsy." " But can we do the biopsy without but?" She asked. Who is not scared of an operation? She does not want to do it, she hates the hospital, but what can she do? She can't just let this tumor invade her brain and ruin her future. Lara had a lot of things that she wanted to do and explore. "Don't worry, it's a very small cut, it's not noticeable." " You will be opening my skull, cutting some hair and get some tumors. It's noticeable, especially if I'm on drugs." " You can go home the next day after the operation and be back here. You will come to experience symptoms more often if you still don't do the biopsy and check what is the best medicine or treatment for you.. Trust me." "it's risky." "I know you need to decide because the symptoms will get more serious. I'm telling you If passing out is a basic one. If you have not got treatment you might experience seizures." He explained, seizures that would be so hard to hide. She took a deep breath and was at the doctor that was waiting for her to answer. Lara took a moment and massaged her forehead. I don't know if she will make a decision now or can she come back? " Can I make another appointment?" she asked, but her doctor looked like he did not like that. "Lara, listen to me. Your tumor has been in your head for a year and it's now getting bigger. That's why the symptoms are more often shown more often. We need treatment as soon as possible, so we can stop it and remove it if it's not benign." "benign? What if it is?" she asked. She doesn't know what the meaning is of benign, but I'm sure it's bad. " If it's cancerous, we will need to check if it's spread. That's why I am asking you to do the biopsy as soon as possible." After a long talk, Lara made a schedule for her biopsy on Friday and she still didn't know what the excuse would be she could use because she wouldn't be able to get home for a day. Lara is still not sure about doing the biopsy but the doctor gave me a pain killer. She got 3 days to make an excuse for this one. She was very nervous and scared, what if something went wrong and she had a hemorrhage and got into Coma. I know the doctor told me that there's a 20% chance that the location of my tumor is in a critical area and to know more they need to check it via biopsy and find a safe and possible solution for my case. Lara receives a text from Luke while she's on her way out to the hospital. Love, I'm on my way to your office. See you love you! Lara's eyes widened as soon as she read the text and checked the time. It was 6pm. She'd been out for 3 hours and she didn't tell him that she was out of the office. I hurriedly ran through the exit door but she got bumped into something and she immediately said sorry and looked at the man she had bumped into. "Lara?" __________________________
