Yeah. Yeah. So the day... That Abby wrote me, I had just gotten the results of a scan back saying that two years ago I got diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I had been in treatment for it for the last two years. But I was doing a three-month follow-up scan because I was technically in remission.

And the day that Abby wrote me, I had got the results of the scan saying that the cancer had returned and it was in my liver. And so that all happened at once. But I didn't say that to Abby. And I think a few days later, y'all contacted me to be on the podcast. And so I had to tell you at that point that I had just gotten this news.

I was pretty certain that what the doctors would say, I still hadn't spoken to my doctor. I had read everything on my medical portal. And I was pretty certain that meant that I would go in in a couple of days and they would say that the cancer at this point is considered incurable. We don't have a treatment that will help you, that will make you live.

We have some options, some medical trials that could, in like 30 percent of individuals, prolong your life. Um, and so all of that, I wrote you and I said, I want to come on. And then I, I have to presence that that would be something that I'd be talking about. And it would just be, I couldn't even imagine trying to come on and pretending that that hadn't happened.

Yeah. Right before I got diagnosed, I had decided to write a newsletter called Things That Don't Suck. And then... And this was two years ago. And a couple weeks later, I got diagnosed. And I thought, shit, I'm supposed to write about things that don't suck with this happening. But it was perfect.

My therapist had always told me the only thing we have control over in this life is where we put our attention. So I thought, perfect time to put my attention on what I love about this world, what I am so grateful for. And it was already kind of naturally happening. As soon as I got diagnosed, I had this experience where... It's so much to get into.

I don't know if now is the right time, but I had, I guess I'd call, I'm going to try not to be shy about what I call it, but a direct experience of the divine. I grew up in the Baptist church. And then when I came out as queer, I got sort of angsty and left that all behind. But it always had a relationship, I thought, with God in the way of God being love and whatever connects us all.
