Dealing with it (Zailey)

Zack finds out he has cancer and instead of doing the rational thing and letting people help him through it he decides not to tell anyone and tries to push them all away. However Bailey knows something's up and does her best to find out what it is.

"I'm sorry, but you have Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma"

At this point, the room goes deathly quiet.

Carrie was the first to speak up "What exactly does that mean doctor"

"It means your son has of cancer, I'm sorry"

It's at this point that Carrie goes into near hysterics while Zack sits stoically beside her before he speaks up "How long do I have?"

The Doctor seems surprised by his calmness but never less answers "Well unfortunately who have the low grade disease and the fact that we caught it quite late means that you could potentially only have a year left."
At this point, Zack turns to his still crying Mom and asks if he could get some time alone with the doctor, when she protests the doctor tells her he has every right to speak privately.
When she leaves, Zack turns back to the doctor "What are the treatment options?"

"The main treatments used for non-Hodgkin lymphoma are chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a type of targeted treatment called monoclonal antibody therapy. This will require being in the hospital more and more as time and the disease progress and will of course cause hair loss."
"Are there any other treatment options"

"Why?"

"Because if I'm going to die, I'd rather it not be in a hospital bed."

"In that case there is a new drug trial for combating this type of cancer, however I have to warn you that this drug, while showing promising results, could also reduce the amount of time you have left and is extremely painful to inject."
"How soon could I start on it?"

"Treatment would begin next week and you would have Bi-Weekly appointments to inject the drug and do a check-up" "I'd like that treatment then"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Okay then, we can get it sorted so that the doctor on the ship you go to school on can administer the treatment for you."

"Thank you doctor."
After they finished talking, Zack left the room and headed over to his pacing mother who, as soon as she saw him, swept him up into a bone crushing hug "Oh baby it's going to be okay"
"I've talked to the doctor and decided to take a treatment plan that means I'm not going to be stuck in a hospital" He decided not to elaborate as this would probably worry her even more. "And Mom? Can you do me a favour?"

"Anything sweetheart"
"I want to go back to school on the ship and continue like before, that means you can't tell anyone I have cancer, including Cody."

"Oh but sweetheart they could help you get through this"

"I don't want anyone to treat me differently! Promise me you won't tell anyone Mom."

"Ok, I promise you"
