Being Diagnosed With and Treated For Cancer 

Vivian: Do you see this lump? I’m sure I have cancer. 

Guy: Don’t jump to conclusions. It could be something completely benign1. 

Vivian: I know it’s not benign. It’s got to be a malignant2 tumor3. The cancer is probably at stage two or three already. The oncologist will probably want to start me on radiation and chemotherapy right away. 

Guy: You haven’t seen a single doctor yet and you’re already planning for the worst. 

Vivian: Of course I am. I want to be mentally prepared for the bad news. The doctor will do a biopsy, but I already know what the results will be. I’m just hoping the prognosis will be good. 

Guy: I think you’re getting way ahead of yourself. It could be something completely harmless. 

Vivian: I can’t afford to believe that. I have a family history of cancer. My father was diagnosed when he was 56 years old. It’s true he’s been in remission and hasn’t had a relapse yet, but you never know with cancer. 

Guy: That’s right, you never know. You could live to the age of 90. 

Vivian: You can fool yourself as much as you like, but I have to face facts – especially as sick as I am.
