«You know what they say… Laughing is the best medicine», Bette replied.
They ate in silence for a few seconds and then Tina made an announcement. «I think I’ll have the lumpectomy…»
Bette stared at her, stunned by Tina’s sudden change of subject. «I thought you were considering the mastectomy?»
«I was, but it would be too hard dealing with the cancer and losing a breast all at the same time… I’ll call Dr Prescott tomorrow and tell him…», Tina said.
Bette draped her arm around her shoulder and gave her a squeeze. «I feel so much better now that I’ve made my decision…», Tina told Bette.
«I’m glad. It wasn’t an easy one and I really admire the way you handled it baby… You are one strong woman…»
«Let’s have our friends over tomorrow night and tell them what’s going on. I think Alice is starting to suspect something… I don’t like keeping secrets from them…»
«All right… If that’s what you want. I’ll call Alice when we get back home and ask her to tell Shane and Dana»
The next day…
«Hey guys, I was starting to think you were mad at us…», Alice told Bette and Tina when she, Dana and Shane arrived at their house.
«Of course not, why would we be mad at you?», Tina asked, hugging her friends.
«We don’t see you at The Planet anymore and every time I call, it never seems like a good time», Dana said.
«Well, we’re sorry, but we… we’ve hit of a rough patch lately…», Bette explained.
Shane, Alice and Dana stared at their friends with worry. «You guys aren’t splitting up, are you?», Alice wanted to know.
«Shut up Al…», Shane told her.
«What ? What did I say?»
«No Alice, we are not splitting up… Tina?»
Tina looked at Bette and then at her friends. «About a week ago, I… I found a lump in my left breast», Tina started.
«Oh God Tina…», Shane said, sitting up straight. Both Dana and Alice registered a look of shock on their faces.
«What did the doctor say?», Dana asked in a faint voice.
«I have breast cancer…»
«Shit!», Alice exclaimed as her eyes filled with tears. Dana buried her face in her hands and Shane stared in disbelief at both Bette and Tina. «The doctor said it was caught early and that my prognosis is excellent, but I will need surgery to remove the lump and after that, I’ll have radiation treatment for a while», Tina went on.

Everything will be fine.
milady this chapter was so heart warming and you could feel both womens pain concering Tina’s breast cancer, and w/friends like they have they can make it..great chapter
Wow! I cried all the way through this chapter. I hope everything turns out ok.
I am glad that this Bette accepts the help and love of family and friends. PPS.
Love is sometime the best medicine. Family and friends will see Tina and Bette through this. Just give Bette the strength to control herself. thanks
Tina wanted the mastectomy so she could be sure the cancer wouldn’t come back but it didn’t seem like she considered the reconstructive surgery I wonder why. I’m sure it would probably feel different but at least it would look normal. Tina has a great support system I love how these girls rally around each other. Happy endings please pps.
Why’d you go and make me cry? Great story!
had tears in my eyes reading this heart warming chapter, it’s good that B&T are there supporting each other though this and having there friends around as well shows that they are all truly a family
I cried during this chapter myself. I’m burying my father this weekend because of cancer. It’s heart-wrenching, but I love your story and how it’s being portrayed. Keep writing.
Hope Tina´s surgery goes well! Shane , Alice and Dana rock and Milady rocks too! :DGreat chapter and PPS
This is sad and please let Tina will be ok, its make me cry when Im read this!
