“Dios mío. En urgencias me dijeron que habían visto algo en el escáner, pero nunca imaginé que pudiera ser un cáncer.”

But I never imagined that it could be cancer.
Pero nunca imaginé que pudiera ser un cáncer.

Here she uses the imperfect subjunctive to express a past denial of something that may or may not come to be. In we were to describe something that did actually come to be we could use the conditional (podría). We cover this use of the subjunctive in our free lesson: Quiz #2 – The Subjunctive in Noun Clauses Spanish Grammar members, see:  Subj06 Disbelief Denial – Uncertainty
