"We'll get her started on the vitamin therapy as soon as possible," said the doctor. "You two have a choice to make."

"We can either have her transferred to a pediatric cancer hospital, and she'll be taken care of there full time, or you can treat her with the vitamins from home and only bring her in for the chemo."

"Home she's not staying here." Phil said quickly.

John nodded. "She'd hate staying here, Phil, you stay with her, explain everything, I'll go make the arrangements."
