“Shane.” Carmen laid a hand on her knee, causing Shane to look up quickly. “Did you notice that Alice couldn’t say her name?”
“Huh? Who’s name?” Shane asked, distracted as she watched Alice take a bag from Kit, laughing happily at something Bette’s sister said to her.
“Dana’s,” Carmen said, watching Shane turn back to her. “Alice never said Dana’s name in that conversation. It was almost like she couldn’t.” Smug about noticing something Shane hadn’t, Carmen slipped off her sandals and stretched out, placing her bare feet in Shane’s lap.
“Hmm,” Shane mumbled thoughtfully, absently massaging Carmen’s feet lightly. “Maybe our little miss Alice isn’t as over Dana as she wants us to think.”
Holding back a moan as Shane kneaded her heel, Carmen added, “And maybe there’s hope yet for those two.”
Dana sat nervously swinging her legs, her thin paper gown crinkling with the movement. Dr. Fry was seated before her, flipping through some papers thoughtfully. As Dana’s bare heels accidentally swung back and banged into the examination table with a loud thump, the doctor set the paperwork aside and laid a gentle hand on the tennis player’s tense knee.
“Oh, sorry. I’m just a little scared,” Dana admitted.
Dr. Fry smiled kindly. “I understand. And, unfortunately, the news I’m about to give you won’t make things any better.”
Dana froze. “No,” she whispered.
“I’m sorry, Dana, but the tests confirm it. You have breast cancer,” Dr. Fry told her softly. “But there’s hope. You’re young and healthy, and you have a good chance of survival. We should discuss your treatment options.”
Dana’s eyes were closed and her mouth was a tight line. “I’m going to lose my *****, aren’t I?”
Laughing softly at the comment, the doctor replied, “Not necessarily. You may, however, need a lumpectomy, which would remove the lump and affected parts of the breast. However, even if you had to have a lumpectomy, or later, a mastectomy, it wouldn’t be so bad.”
A picture came to Dana’s mind: herself topless, one breast gone and replaced with an angry red scar. “How is that?”
“There are implants that could be used to make your chest just as it did, and no one should be able to tell much of a difference at first glance,” Dr. Fry explained, leaning forward.
