There I was, 16 years old at Doctor Dean’s office. It was the middle of summer and I went in for a checkup I was waiting for doctor Dean to come in with the blood work. Mom had a weird look on her face like she didn’t know where she was or what she was doing. After about 45 minutes, doctor Dean entered the room and sat down; he said “there is no easy way to say this but Nicole you have cancer.’ My mom let out a yell and started to cry.
