Sick

3 MONTHS LATER....

Paul's POV

Doc, ano po lumabas na po ba yung results ng mga test?

Yes, Mr. Sandoval!

Salamat naman, medyo matatahimik na ko dahil may results na. Can you tell me now, Doc?

Yes, of course. That's the reason why I called you to see me today.

Go ahead Doc.

Mr. Sandoval, yung chief complaints mo last time was
mainly because,,,

Binuksan ni Doc yung envelope na naglalaman nung result, tumingin sya sakin at huminga ng malalim
I'm sorry Mr. Sandoval based on this result you have leukemia

What? Are you serious? Pero I feel healthy Doc. Baka mali yan baka di sakin yang result na yan Doc. Paki-double check please. It can't be

Ito talaga ang result Mr.Sandoval, if you want a repeat test, we can do it. Pero all I can say now is that based on this result you do have leukemia

Nanuyo ang kalamnan ko sa narinig, totoo ba? Ako? Bakit ako? Tsaka nahilo lang naman ako, at madalas madaling mapagod nung mga nakaraang araw ah leukemia na agad?

Sobrang gulo na ng utak ko ngayon, hindi kayang tanggapin ng sistema ko yung mga naririnig ko sa Doctor ko

May nakausap akong magaling na oncologist na pwedeng tumingin sayo, you can meet him any time, I advise na makipagkita ka sa kanya soon para mapagusapan nyo yung possible treatment sayo Mr. Sandoval, and please bring someone na will accompany you, mas mabuti kung parents mo

So, seryoso ka talaga Doc? Pano ako nagka-leukemia?

Based sayong lifestyle maayos naman you were once an athlete pa nga, you're extra strong back then kaya di agad nadevelop pero now it seems na you inherited it from your grandfather

Baka nga, my grandfather from my Dad's side died battling leukemia, pero Doc he was diagnosed nung matanda na sya, bakit ako? bata pa naman ako

Hindi naman natin alam kung kelan tayo tatamaan ng matinding sakit hindi ba? Naniniwala ako na kakayanin mo 'to Mr. Sandoval, it's good to have this ng bata ka pa para mas mapagtagumpayan mo hindi ba? Look at the brighter side Mr. Sandoval

Pano Doc? Sa mga sinabi mo hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko

I have bad news and good news for you, anong gusto mong unahin ko?

Bad news na lang muna Doc

Ang bad news nasabi ko na pala, you have leukemia and good news is we detected it early, so yung cancer cells di pa nag po-progress kaya there's a higher chance na you'll get through this Mr. Sandoval!

Well good news nga yan Doc, pero still, I have cancer. I-absorb ko muna lahat 'to Doc and will get back to you kapag ready na kong i-meet yung oncologist

Okay, I understand Mr. Sandoval. Pero please soon sana para maayos na natin ang possible treatment for you

Yes Doc.

Tumayo ako at mabigat ang paang umalis sa hospital.

Ano 'to Mom? Gusto mo na ba akong makasama? Pano si Dad? Pano si Paris? I miss you Mom, pero not now please.

Pagdating ko sa bahay, nakita ko si Dad na nakaupo sa sala
Anak, ano kumusta ang checkup mo?

Ngumiti ako at umupo
Dad!
