Lesley and Jessie met Claudia after a few hours down at Kelly's for lunch and were just about finished as Claudia had an errand, and Lesley had to head back for the hospital on an emergency
" Claudia go on ahead Jessie and I have to go back to the hospital for alittle bit anyway." Lesley insisted as she looked towards Claudia.
" Lesley are you sure, I don't mean to pry but Lesley you don't look well are you really sure you're feeling ok?" Claudia asked
Lesley took a minute as she started to feel abit lightheaded and sick again and Claudia was the 3rd person that day to ask if she was feeling alright. Truth be told, Lesley knew she was terminal and was sick but she didn’t want to worry anyone else.
" I'm okay, I'm just tired from the last couple of days between the hospital and the kids and I've been trying to get everything done and I've also been trying to keep up with appointments With Dr. Quartermaine and sometimes Dr Cunningham along with another doctor I've been seeing with Jessie."
Claudia got ready to go and paid for their lunch " Please call me if you need anything and please Lesley get some rest." Claudia asked as she moved to leave
" Claudia… there is something I still need to tell you about what's going on…" Lesley let out a moderate sigh and prepared to tell Claudia before leaving to go back to the hospital.
" Lesley what is it?"
" It came back the cancer I mean… it's come back again and this time it’s um spread enough that treatment has ended…" Lesley tried not to cry
" Lesley, what can Brian and I do. There should be something we can do for you." Claudia exclaimed
" You both are already doing what you can… you both are my friends and I love you more than you know…. The doctors I've been seeing with Jessie, they've done all that they can and after this week, I am gonna be placed into hospice care at home." Lesley finally gotten around to tell Claudia.
" Lesley you will always be a friend… I'm just sorry there's nothing more I can do for you." Claudia hugged Lesley and paid for lunch as she left.
" Lesley you know that you're gonna have to tell Rick, I haven't because I know you don't want me to but I've let this go on too long..." Jessie pointed out
" I know Jessie and you're right... But it scares me to face him because... and what am I supposed to tell him..... " Lesley replied.
" Lesley I know it isn't easy, to tell him about the cancer becoming terminal, but at some point... We're gonna have to tell him..." Jessie pointed out gently
" It just scares me Jessie... and to tell him that I only have a small number of weeks left Jessie how do you tell somebody that... You only have another 5, maybe 6 weeks to live... It would devastate him. I just don’t want to be the one that will end up hurting him Jessie. “

Lesley had just came into the lobby with Jessie when Bobbi called out to her to tell her she had a phone call.
" This is Doctor Webber.... Y-Yes Zack, I'm on my... I'm on my way up. I just came in with Jessie, we’ll be right there." Lesley answered and moved to hand bobbi back the phone.
" Lesley, are you feeling alright?" Bobbi asked.
" Yeah, I'm ok it's just one of those days. I don't think I haven't had much sleep in the last couple days with everything going on lately..." Lesley replied
Lesley caught the first elevator to get up to the clinic to help Zack with an emergency before she finally had a few moments to relax; feeling alittle like she was gonna be sick again, Lesley decided to take a minute, she was just finishing up and putting her stuff away and taking her medication when Rick had just stopped by to surprise her with an early dinner.
