Dana couldn’t figure out why she’d asked Lara to be here. It wasn’t like she was helping; although, to be fair, she was making one hell of an effort. Still, it felt patronizing somehow, the way she was trying to cheer Dana up, and Dana couldn’t help but hate her for it just a little bit. She knew she was being incredibly mean about things, but she felt like shit, and the pink concoction currently meandering its way through her circulatory system wasn’t making things any easier.
The nurse was trying to be chipper about things, but it was only serving to further dampen Dana’s mood. She hated that the medicine was making her so fucking cold; it was sunny and warm outside, which was the general state of affairs in Southern California, but with the temperature of the treatment she felt like she was in the middle of a New England winter or something, and she really didn’t like it.
“How does it feel now?” Lara asked, taking her hand after the nurse had gone to check on some other patients.
“How the fuck do you think it feels, Lara? How do you think it feels to have everything under the kitchen sink pumped into your veins? My skin’s fucking crawling.” Dana stopped and looked away. She knew she was making herself into a victim again, but she couldn’t seem to stop. “Where the hell did my life go?”
Despite all of Lara’s protests, Dana still felt like her life had somehow managed to elude her when she wasn’t looking. Lara felt utterly defeated. For the past few days, ever since Dana had been released after her mastectomy, they’d been getting along really well. Better than they had since before the diagnosis, in fact, and Lara knew that had a lot to do with the conversation they’d had right before the operation. So, trying to use that to her advantage again, she said softly, “I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Why?” Dana asked, hating herself for being so spiteful about it but not able to stop herself. “Why are you still here?” She had to look away from the devastation on Lara’s face.
“She’s only here because this is so much fucking fun,” Alice said by way of greeting, finally making her way into the room after listening to the whole thing in the hallway. She felt a little bad about that; it was faintly reminiscent of her Peeping Tom stage. But it wasn’t like Dana would tell her anything, and Lara just looked brokenhearted. The poor thing was probably blaming herself again. She’d called Alice before driving over here with Dana, since she knew something like this was likely to happen and she never seemed to do Dana any good in these sorts of situations.

Great job, the connection is real! Gives me hope for happy endings.
WOW muted im so very proud of you at this moment! I know that had to be tough to write,but you did it and it was the best update! Im sorry i havent been around ,wishing i was there for you to write this chapter.HUGS and just remember its almost 6 months!! Love ya!!! PPS
Wow Temp this was really really good and im not just saying that i truly mean it.I know what its like to write your own experiences in your story its kinda like an outlet and I know it mustve really been hard for you to write this, especially since youve lived through it. I love the way you ended this chapter. We all have that friend like shane that seems to always be right when you dont want them to be LOL
Wow! This is beautifully written. I loved it. Alice verbiage always make me smile. More Please.
Phenomenal update. It broke my heart, and gave me hope all at the same time. You did a wonderful job, and I really enjoyed reading it. I can only imagine how difficult this was to write, with having your own experiences with cancer. For that I applaude you. Thank you very much for sharing. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. Sorry, but I don’t have any good ideas about the Foamcore Dana. Although, I always did have this picture of Alice playing “dress up” with Foamcore Dana. You know…Dana’s pants and shirt? That way it not only looked like Dana, but smelled like her too. Weird right? Wait a sec…that didn’t actually happen right? I seem to have a whole bunch of season 3 memory lapses. Oh well. :) Loved it.
This update brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely loved it! It’s all in the small gestures that emphasis the strong bong between these women (and ofcourse especially Dana and Alice). I was glad to see that Alice replaced Bette. And Alice comforting Dana at any time…they’re just meant to be. *sigh* And I also loved the fact that they went looking for Dana after Carmen’s remark. The original storyline will only fade more to the background from now on. And don’t be scared, you will do just fine on your own. You already did a superb job with this one!
I am totally loving this story!!!
So sweet!! i hope you have a happy ending tho..my hopes are so high lol:)

I’ve had to catch up on the last couple chapters and i just want to read more and more. You’re doing a great job and this story has become one of my favorites. Can’t wait to see what happens next. gotta love the love…:)
