" Mr. Ethan Allen " she said with a smile on her face as she gave me her hand to Shaksaid e it I gave a weak smile and shaked her hand
" okay what do you know about cancer " she asked as her face got serious
" it is diedly " I said with a quite tone in my voice .
" yes it is in deed okay Ethan do you have any smokers in the family " she asked me curiously
" yes my step mother and brother" I answered her
" okay do you smoke " she asked
" no " she looked at me and nodded " okay I'm going to call your dad to discuss what you have" she got out and told the nurses to call my dad and after two minutesmy dad entered looking worried " Mr. Grayson Allen " she smiled to my dad and he smiled back to her .
" Dr. Jackson nice to meet you again " ( an : Dr. Jackson is a her for all the confused people out there) '- again dose dad know her -' she glared at him
" nice to meet you to now please take a seat so we can discuss your son problem" dad nodded and did what she said.
" okay let us get started with the term of cancer , it types , and he can deal with it "
" cancer is A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Okay we have multiple stages for it we have the early stages and the last stages and for people who there cancer found in it's early stages should be thankful that they found the cancer in its early stages why because it's easier to get rid of it more than other stages because the abnormal cells wouldn't have traveled further in the body , okay now the types of it we have skin cancer, blood cancer, Brian cancer , lung cancer and Exedra " she explained
" now for what your son have before we say anything we should be thankful that we found the cancer in its early stages by accident we took accidental x-ray on his lungs and we found something odd in his lungs and that lead us to take a few tests on him wish maid us find it okay your son have lung cancer and we have two types of lung cancer one is the non-small cell cancer two the small cell cancer and u unfortunately he has small cell lung cancer it's usually not found this early but what we can only is say knock on wood now about the treatment
Surgery is generally followed by chemotherapy . If cancer is found in the lymph nodes that were removed, radiation therapy to the chest is also usually recommended. The radiation is often given at the same time as the chemo. Although this increases the side effects of the treatment , it appears to be more effective than giving one treatment after the other. If you already have severe lung disease (in addition to your cancer) or other serious health problems, you might not be given radiation therapy but as he said he didn't have any so we are going to do that. Any other questions
" yes how lung is it going to last " I asked
" the treatment" she asked and I nodded
"Well in your case it does last for 3 to 5 months but I cannot judge till the cancer is fully gone "
" okay when dose it start " dad asks concerned
"The treatment is going to start as soon as possible because this kind of cancer is more dangerous then the other ones because it spread more quicker I think we should start on it this Friday " she said
After a while we left the hospital with bad news , I felt dad disbelieve of the situation I felt I don't I didn't feel sad or anything I felt bad for no reason I think it will hit me as I got home .
And as I protected it hit me as I saw the house door and Rafe opened window he was looking out of it I think he was waiting for me he gave me a sad look as I entered the house .
I didn't want to talk to any one but Rafe I felt like he is the only one who would understand.
