“Naturally,” Will smiled and drew in another swallow of her coffee.

“Ms. Porter, this is Doctor Ferion. She’ll be the one assisting you throught most of you’re treatment and going over with you most of the information pertaining to your type of cancer. She’s considered a specialist in the field so I feel we’ll be leaving you in very capable hands,” Dr. Kingston’s voiced echoed in her head. It had only been a few days ago when he asked to discuss a few of her chest X-Rays with her. They had noticed enlarged, lymph nodes in her chest and she had often complained of tiredness and itchiness all over he body. Kit had been sure it was just a cold or something and was nothing to take to a doctor, but when she found herself waking up in cold sweats for no apparent reason after having had what seemed like an everlasting fever, she decided to go to the doctor.

And then Dr. Kingston told her those devastating words. She was still having trouble finding the reality of it all. It couldn’t happen to me, she thought. It happens to everyone else, but not me. I take good care of myself and I would never get cancer, she had thought.

Dr. Ferion introduced herself and Kit shakingly took her hand. “Hi Kit, how are you feeling today?” Dr. Ferion asked as Dr. Kingston left the room closing the door behind him. Kit shook her head.

“Fine, fine. Well, as fine as you can be I suppose,” Kit responded. She was beginning to hate being able to swing her feet on the examination table.

“Well, let’s get down to it. How much do you know about this particular type of cancer?” Dr. Ferion asked. Kit had to be honest with herself. she still hadn’t come to terms with the fact she may have Hodgkin’s Disease and even though Dr. Kingston had told her it was treatable she hadn’t been able to bring herself to find out any information on the cancer.

“Not much, really. I know it’s treatable,” she respnded optimistcally with a slight grin. Dr. Ferion smiled as Kit grinned.

“Yes, it is treatable but I would encourage you to do some research on it so you know what kind of cancer you’re dealing with. I might help you get through you’re treatment’s a little bit easier. In the mean time we’re going to have to diagnose what type of Hodgkin’s Disease you have so we can select the appropriate treatment,” the Doctor explained. She brushed her hair back and made a few notes as Kit sighed for a moment.
