    Author Notes:

    The LONG awaited Diagnosis

    Dr.
    Harris: I know this is somewhat a shock for you and I understand how
    upsetting news like this is. If you want, we can table this for a few
    hours. Allow you to get out for a while and process

    Bette: (interrupts) No. I’d like to know now, please.

    Kit: Baby girl

    Bette: I need to hear it now.

    Dr. Harris: Ok, Bette. I understand. (reads from the report) The tests confirm that you have Leukemia.

    Kit: Leukemia? Isn’tisn’t that a childhood disease?

    Dr.
    Harris: There are quite a few forms of Leukemia. Some are commonly
    found in children while others are typically found later in life.

    Kit: (Interrupts) How do we get rid of it? I mean does she have to have surgery?

    Bette: (frustrated) Kit, there is no cure.

    Dr. Harris: (to Kit) Unfortunately, your sister’s correct. There is no cure. We can only hope to treat it and get her into remission. Until(pauses) until a cure is found. As for surgery, Leukemia is somewhat different than other cancers. When
    a person has Breast Cancer or Testicular Cancer, it is usually
    discovered when the patient or a doctor discovers a lump in the
    surrounding tissue. Certain cancers form these localized tumors; If
    found to be malignant, doctors will usually remove the tumor and treat
    the nearby area with radiation or chemotherapy. Surgery works well for
    cancers affecting a specific area of the body. (Pauses) Leukemia is
    different. Leukemia is cancer of the blood. It begins deep in the marrow of the bones, where blood cells are created. There is no tumor to focus on.

    Bette: It’s everywhere, isn’t it?

    Dr.
    Harris: It’s well interspersed. As I’ve told you before blood cells
    have their own life cycle. They start out as immature cells called
    blasts. Then they mature and differentiate into specialized cells that
    serve a specific function in your body. When
    a person has Leukemia, there is some sort of genetic damage that
    disrupts the life cycle of the blood cells. No one knows how exactly
    this change happens. (Pauses) The results indicate that you have what’s
    called Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, which is the most common form of
    adult leukemia. Essentially your white blood cells aren’t maturing and are building up in your blood and marrow.

Thsnks for emailing and giving me the heads up on it.Well I assumed it was cancer from the get go…your CLIFFHANGER left us with the indication of what was to come.The medical terms were tricky…but you explained them well.Bette has to let Kit help her…she can’t take this all on by herself. What about Tina? And now that she knows about the baby. Glad she called Alice, to see her reaching out to a friend. She hasn’t talked to her or any other the other girls in a while, right?Ok. Now that you’ve left me wanting more…WRITE WRITE WRITE (j/k) :)

Tina want give up tho. She will fight Bette every step of the way. she will want to be with Bette and Bette will not accept her pity. thanks

    5. this is very sad, i have a friend who just found out that her little 4 y.o. girl has a leukemia and it’s devistating, i hope you won’t kill bette, i’d rather her to be an alcoholic than dying…and i hope alice will tell tina so she can come home and be with bette

    8. when cancer is present it is realy rare, a happy ending is in site…As hard as it will be to read this story, do to the fact that some one close to me is going threw a simular situation, I am looking forward to where you take this and remember it’s fiction so realy Bette could bounce back.*wink* Thanks a bunch.
