• Pathology results discussed with Dr. C

Hector and I are alone in hospital room in the morning when Dr. C stops in by himself. He checks my abdomen and drain, and then in just a few brief sentences, he tells us that the pathology shows that the cancer did not start in my ovary but in my gastrointestinal tract. Stage IV. He mentions that another doctor will be by to see me and then he leaves the room. The last time I'll ever see him. The fear that I sense in Hector's eyes and the fear that I feel in my own body are overwhelming. OVERWHELMING.
