Summary: "I'm afraid the lump is malignant."
Warnings: Cancer.
Notes: I'm still writing! I swear!
"I'm afraid the lump is malignant," said the doctor. Lynne sagged in her chair.
She'd known it was. She'd hoped it wasn't but she'd known it was. Why, after all, should she have escaped the family curse? Her mother lost a breast to it. Her grandmother had died of it. Her sister showed no signs of it but had twice-yearly mammograms, just in case.
And now Lynne had it.
"Breast cancer," she said, and closed her eyes. What was she going to tell her family? "What do I do?"
The doctor had no answer for her.
She'd known he wouldn't.
