Forever I Promise: Chapter Three

Previously,
Doctor Clifford: Ms. Porter. If you dont sign and give us consent your sister is going to bleed to death without this surgery.

——–
Kit looked around at the rest of the girls before answering the doctor. Yes, Ill sign it. As she took the clipboard from the doctor she looked at Alice. Please find Tina.

Alice pulled out her cell phone and Dana walked outside with her. Please Tina answer. Shane stayed inside with Kit trying to calm her down.

Shane: Kit shes going to be alright. The doctors are taking good care of her. This surgery sounds like she has to have it you know.

Doctor Clifford: Ms. Porter, I need to ask you some more questions. Has your sister been acting different? Not able to understand things or shown any sign that she was not herself? The reason I ask is because of the size of the tumor. Apparently it has been there for several months from the looks of things.

Kit and Shane just stared at each other. Shane was the first to speak.

Shane: Yes, she has been under a lot of stress from her job and she has seemed different in the way she handled it this time. I mean shes done shows before and gotten freakd and stressed, but not like this time.

Kit: I agree. She has been off so to speak for a few months.

Doctor Clifford: That would make sense then. The bleeding we believe started in her brain last night. Has she hit her head or anything recently?

Both shook their heads no.

Kit: Doctor Clifford please tell me just how serious this surgery is. I mean I know you say shell die without it, but how serious is the surgery itself? I mean is she in more danger? Well she be OK afterwards?

Doctor Clifford: Brain tumor in patients, including those with certain “benign” brain tumors, have poorer survival rates than breast cancer patients. There are over 120 different types of brain tumors, making effective treatment very complicated.
