  “What is it?”

  “You've got lung cancer. We're pretty sure that it's already in stage 4. There isn't much that we can do to cure it with how far it's come. I'm sorry to say, but you don't have much time left.”

  “Wait, how much time?”

  “With what we gathered, around 2-3 weeks.”

  “Alright, enough to be able to say goodbye to everyone. Thank you for taking your time to figure all of this out.”

  “No problem. I'll fill your friend in on what we found out, and then he can come in.”

  “Alright.”
