With Mike’s support, Carrie underwent the biopsy. Mike was there through everything that Carrie went through. During this time, Mike and Carrie’s bond deepened as they worked through the trials of Carrie’s diagnosis. Mike took time off from work to attend every doctor visit Carrie had.
When the doctor came back and told Carrie that they couldn’t get all the tumor, Carrie had to undergo several weeks of chemotherapy. Mike was there for every one of her treatments, no matter how sick Carrie got. Although Carrie didn’t think so, Mike thought that Carrie was more beautiful during this time.
After weeks of chemotherapy treatments, Carrie perseverance prevailed when the doctor came in after a particularly grueling chemo treatment to give Carrie and Mike the good news.
“How was it doc?” Carrie asked, sick from her last chemo.
“Well, I have good news.” the doctor announced to Carrie and Mike.
“What is it?” Carrie said hopeful.
“I checked your last blood count and the cancer is in remission.”
“Remission?” Carrie said happily as she squeezed Mike’s hand.
“Yes. I don’t know how long it will last, but at least I can give you this news.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Carrie told him.
“Don’t thank me. You did most of the work.” the doctor said. “I’ll want to see you back in a week to see how you’re doing.”
“You mean, I can go home?” Carrie said happily.
“As soon as I draw up your release papers, you can go home.” the doctor told Carrie and Mike.
Carrie and Mike relished in the doctor’s news that her cancer was in remission.
“Carrie, will you do me the honor and have dinner with me?” Mike asked Carrie out.
“Yes, I will go to dinner with you.” Carrie happily agreed.
Mike took Carrie home after she was released from the hospital. As soon as she got home, she hit Terrie’s button on her cell and told her the good news about her cancer and her date with Mike. Terrie congratulated her friend on beating cancer and her date with Mike.
After she hung up her call with Terrie, Carrie went to take a long, hot bath before Mike came to take her to dinner. Carrie was ready when Mike showed up at her apartment to pick her up for their dinner date. She looked lovelier Mike could barely take his eyes off her as he escorted her to the limo he rented for their night.
Their date was a success that Carrie deserved after her cancer ordeal. Mike wanted to give Carrie the best night of her life to celebrate her recovery.
But after their date, Mike still had one secret he was keeping until just the right moment when he could get things together.
