Chapter 15 Early bird

I arrived at Edward’s house twenty minutes before eight. Even though I had spent almost the whole night awake, I was not feeling sleepy at all. I had spent the first half of the night on the internet reading about the possibility of recovery for pancreatic cancer. The chances that the surgery would ensure recovery were low and depended on so many factors. I had nearly gone crazy taking in every bit information that I could find. In the end, I had decided to try and sleep. For hours, the sleep never came and my mind was full of worries. I couldn’t help but think of how horrible life would be without my little brother. That year had already been tough enough since he had spent most of it in hospital. Just when we thought he would get better, he had gone down again.
