Abby nodded. "It does, but all of them are a stall. And...well it's not my decision to make but if I were in Peter's position I wouldn't want to prolong this at all."
Peter shook his head. "No I...not..not prolonging."
"I suggest you speak with the staff oncologist. I'll apprise him of your unique situation, but I'm pretty sure he'll say the same thing. If you've been having symptoms since June, this is a fairly fast growing tumor. It's uhm...that just means that it won't...last as long."
Peter couldn't quite believe this was happening. He rubbed his eye and then squeezed Tasha again, despite the fact that his legs her going semi-numb. He didn't want her to move. "So basically I just...wait it out?"
"A neurologist could prescribe the proper anti-seizure medication to make sure you don't have any of those. I believe you had a mild seizure on the boat the other day. I'm not surprised what with all the excitement. He'll give you something for the headaches as well."
"But I...I'm..does this mean I'm going to...keep acting the way I have been?"
Abby looked terribly uncomfortable, but she nodded. "I think it might be one of the reasons you slipped so easily in to drinking as well, if you've been experiencing symptoms since June. It could easily explain the out of character behaviour you exhibited."

"Well fuck." Peter hissed.
