What's the worst that could happen? Almost exactly 10 years ago, I was sitting in an exam room that was way too cold waiting to meet my new oncologist. I was terrified. Even though my partner at the time was sitting right by my side, I felt completely alone.

I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, and it seemed at the time that a single bright spot on a scan of my right lung meant that the cancer had already spread. I had metastatic breast cancer.
我刚被诊断出乳腺癌，似乎就在同一时间，我右肺部的扫描影像上出现了一块亮点，也就是说癌细胞已经扩散。我患有转移性乳腺癌。

那时的我还完全没有受过这方面的医疗培训，但我也知道如果检测结果没问题的话，我得的是不治之症-乳腺癌晚期。那时的我年仅 27 岁，刚被医学院录取，却不知道自己是否已经走到了生命的尽头。

My new oncologist was not a warm person. She dealt in simple facts, as many brilliant physicians do. "Our body is made up of cells," she started. I stopped her. "I'm starting medical school soon. I know." Instead of taking this as a signal to go backward, to start again, she went forward.
我的新肿瘤医生并不是一个温暖的人，她就像许多杰出的医生一样，只是简单地陈述事实（意译，字面意思是她用简单的事实处理）。她开始说道："我们的身体是由许多细胞组成的，”我打断了她，"我马上要就读医学院了，我知道这些。”然而，她并没有把这句话当成重新开始对话的信号，还是继续往下说了。
dealt 这里是deal的过去式，意思是处理，这句话的字面意思是，她用简单的事实处理
