And they just said possibly years, but short years.

And I just wanted to like, I just wanted to get out of the room because sorry,

Like, with the consultant there and the nurse there.

And I just felt like I just wanted to be with Alan on my own for a minute, you know?

But, like...

There was probably so much I wanted to say.

It was like the shock just took over.

Alan was sitting next to me with his head in his hands and I had my arm around him.

And I was like, are you okay?

And I was just in shock.

I was like, oh my God, this is actually happening.

Like, this is going to get me, like, you know.

After everything, I was so angry as well because I was like, I've been saying this, like, for the last year.

I'm in pain, like, and I knew something wasn't adding up.

So that was for me where the anger was.

But I just was like, we need to go.

And the two of us went out and sat in the car and we cried so much in the car.

There was just silence.

Like we just didn't know what to do.

And like my mom and dad were up at the time.
