While sitting outside my physician's office I was checking random things to pass my time. Time on the other hand was not passing at all. I started noticing my surrounding in mean time. It was a big clinic with wall painted half white and half in wood colour. Several chairs are placed into corridor connecting main entrance and my clinician's grand office. I turned to see who else is waiting there except me.
There was a lovely couple in their 60's sitting and smiling towards each other. They were so much in love that anyone looking at them could tell this in single second. I turned my eyes to other side and saw a girl approximately of my age, sitting with lowered head. She was looking sad. But who looks happy while visiting a doctor.
A name was called and the girl went inside office. My eyes followed her till she disappeared behind the door. After she was out of my sight I remembered why I was here?
I was having frequent headaches whose intensity increased over past few months. Initially everyone thought that it was just migraine and pills seemed to cure me for some weeks. Soon the pills became ineffective and headache became more severe. I begged for death every time I have that ache.
Two weeks ago that headache was accompanied by nasal bleed. I never took those seriously until my nose would not stop bleeding. I was rushed to emergency room and was treated there. The doctors there adviced me to get an MRI done. So I came here to have MRI and to know why the hell my nose bleeds like this.
I was staring at wall blankly and hoping for some positive response from doctor. I mean positive not in sense of disease but positive in sense of absence of disease.
"Miss Casey Karwood." The receptionist called my name and I walked towards her and nodded.
"You can go in now. Dr. Richard is waiting for you."
I opened the door and looked at the man standing in front of me. He was in his early fifties and was half bald. His head was shining like a street lamp. I giggled on seeing him. he cleared his throat and came out of my thoughts.
"Hello, Miss Casey Karwood. How are you now?"
"Hello doctor. My headache worsed since last time."
"Oh. So are you ready to know what your MRI says."
"You are going to tell me even if I say I am not. Just proceed with it doctor."
"You have brain tumor called as Astrocytoma. This tumor is causing you headaches."
"Wow! I am going to die of a fancy disease instead of some routine one." I tried to sound cheerful but all happiness left my life the day Tyler rejected me.
"Casey it is not a joke. We do not have any effective treatment options yet.""I am not afraid of death doctor." I smiled towards him and left his office with my reports.
I came straight to my home and closed the door. I started crying out loud. "How can this happen to me. I am only 23 too young to die. I might act strong in front of people but I am weak." I slept while crying.
