I must admit, this story line touched a nerve with me. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 12 years ago, and before my surgery (which is when I received the diagnosis) I went through the exact steps Sami did:
- reading about possible diagnoses on the internet
- thinking about your kids living without you
- not telling the kids before you go in to the hospital
- telling your husband that this is happening to YOU and not realizing it’s also happening to HIM
I think I’ve handled this story very well so far. And it’s also given Sami a chance to deal with some reality here.
I agree, I think her reactions are pretty realistic, I remember my first thought if that I was going to lose all my hair. silly thought to think about first thing. I was just stunned to hear the word cancer. (I never had to lose my hair though thankfully). however, I would never break into the hospital to get my results. Thats typical Sami behavior.
