Hello! I just wanted to say thank you to all who give this story a shot. I really appreciate it. I welcome any tips and advice you would like to offer BUT please don't be nasty in your critique of my work.
*This is not going to have any Persephone in it at all. Sorry! 😊
"I am sorry miss Sorrenson, the cancer is back. We can start a more aggressive round of chemotherapy immediately and if that doesn't work there are some experimental options" Dr. Butler was saying in a monotone voice. Delivering my life sentence. In monotone.
I stood up and prepared to walk out without a word because this was not what I was expecting. I honestly thought I had the flu. I can't handle this agan. Last time had been brutal and I will not do it again.
"Miss Sorrenson! We are not done discussing the treatment plan"
"Yes we are. Thank you for informing me. How long do I have?"
........"Not long. It has spread to the bone now. 3 months maybe more. This is more agressive than the leukemia you had. If you reconsider and decide to seek treatment you need to as soon as possible."
"Thank you but I am going to pass. I have decided I will live the remainder of my time doing something that makes me happy. Have a nice day Dr."
I drove to the Realtors office and put my home up for sale. Quick? Yes. But I don't really have time to waste. That done i went home to pack all of the clutter up for a garage sale. I put a notice in the paper and on social media for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then I sat on my couch and cried.
I wept for all I will miss out on. I am 31 and never married. No children and no living family. I have money from good investments and family money when they died. Sad right? Dont worry, I think it is too.
After I was all cried out i called my best friend Missy to give her the news.
"Hello?"
"Hi Missy, have a minute?"
"Are you kidding? Always. I was actually going to call you and see if you wanted dinner."
"Absolutely. can we do it at my house though? I have something i would like to discuss with you." I heard her gasp and sniffle.
"Missy, are you alright?"
"No I am not alright! You are sick again aren't you?"
"Oh Missy. It is a blessing and a curse how well you know me. Yes love. I am sick again. I am not saying anymore until you get here and we can talk face to face. You can bring wine . I will call and order the food now."
"Ok. I won't be long. And Elle, I love you. You are to always remember that."
"I know. You are going to make me cry again. Just get here soon."
I hung up and ordered takeout from my favorite chinese restaurant and took down two wine glasses. Tonight would be a good night with my best friend. I would worry tomorrow.
