A week after the biopsy, Emily Birenbaum called Kelly and told her that it was cancer. Kelly was understandably upset. Edward asked if the tests are always accurate. Kelly proceeded to call her friends and family to tell them the news. She felt a lot of support from everyone, especially her brothers who were still protective of her. Edward called his parents to let them know. Kelly called her parents last. Her father wasn't home so she told her mother who was naturally very upset. George called her back later and gave her one of his rousing pep-talks but she could read between the happy words and knew he was very worried. Kelly sent an email out to her friends and families. She sounded very much like her father, telling everyone what a great team of doctors she had and that she was sure everything would be fine.
