    Can we get it back – Chapter 17

    They walk into the cafeteria on the ground floor. They ordered the food they wanted and went to get a table. They found one by the window looking out into the courtyard of the hospital.

    Bette sat down while Angie and Tina went over to get the food that was ready after a few minutes, and then went back to Bette and took a seat.

    “So, did the doctors say anything?” Tina asks.

    “No, just that they would rush the results through, and we would know in about an hour.” Bette replies as she takes a bite of the burger she ordered. Tina ordered an omelet and Angie also ordered a burger.

    “Okay.” Tina replies, starting to eat her omelet.

    “The hour went by fast and they were upstairs in the waiting room just before the doctor came out.

    “Ms. Porter.” The Dr. Stenton calls out. All three stands up and follows the doctor down the corridor to his office. “Please have a seat.” Dr. Stenton says and motions with his arm to the chairs in front of his desk.

    “Thank you.” Bette replies and takes a seat with Tina and Angie on either side. “So, what is the verdict?” Bette asks, not able to wait any longer.

    “Well, good news. The tests came back negative. But we still need to do the radiation. Your head has healed enough now, so we can start the last part of your treatment.” Dr. Stenton says. “To kill the last cancer cells that might be in there.” Dr. Stenton adds.

    “Okay, so how will this work?” Bette asks curiously.

    “Well, there are 3 pre-procedures that you need to go through before we can start the radiation. The head is difficult to keep steady, even for a short time. So, the first thing we must do is make you a mask. That mask will keep your head completely still during the radiation sequences. The next thing you must go through is, CT Dosage plan, that’s like an X-ray that we need to do to figure out exactly where and how much radiation we need to apply. Then the last thing is simulation, where we decide how big the radiation area will be. This is also where we mark the mask we will make with lines, so that we will radiate the exact same area every time.” Dr. Stenton says.

    1. Hummm? What is going on in Bette’s mind? This has to be an emotional situation – starting radiation treatments,
      and Tina being emotional for some unknown reason, And being always tired and slightly off balance is not a good feeling either. Hopefully Bette is getting better and will recover, I look forward to the time when Bette, Tina and Angie can have a positive activities without the concern of losing one another looming in the background.

      Thank you for this story. Write when you can…. looking forward to how Bette and Tina resolve their issues.

    2. Hi Lauren,

      Thanks so much for the update.

      I am very hopeful that Tina will finally find some answers to her deep problems & be able to continue to be there for Bette.

      Hopefully Bette’s treatment will not be so debilitating.

      Thanks for including Angie & allowing her a voice in the story.

      Looking forward to your next post.

      Happy holiday!!!

      Stay safe.

    3. Thank you for posting again on this story.

      I like the way you are including Angie in the story. Tina needs to know how her actions have affected her daughter.

      The talk of radiation treatment stirred some personal memories for me and I had empathy with Bette’s silent way of dealing with the news she was given of how her treatment would pan out.

      Look forward to more, stay safe

    4. so glad Tina made the phone call to get therapy going. Hope she can talk to Bette about what she is teary eyed so that Bette doesn’t worry. I enjoyed reading about the radiation mask, is that something that people undergoing this type of treatment really have to wear? It seemed very realistic and adds to the realness of what Bette is facing – she will need to sleep and rest and then sleep more. Tina needs to carry the weight emotionally and physically right now. Also hope Bette doesnt lose any a strand of her glorious hair. :)
