Dr. David Fajgenbaum

I can hear it.

And she said, just breathe, Dave, just breathe.

And I heard that and I was like,

all right, I can do this.

I can do, I can do another breath.

And I was like, I'm not going to give, I'm not going to slow down.

Like, but in my mind, when I was slowing down my breathing and letting go, I was expecting that I was going to be letting go maybe a couple of days of life early.

You know, maybe it's like, maybe it's a day of life that I, you know, a day of suffering, basically, that I was going to be sort of letting go.

Like you said, Wendy, she was fighting.

Like you, you can fight for survival.

There's that, when you're at the end, you can keep fighting or you can let go.

And I was going to let go.

I was ready to let go.

But when she said, just breathe, Dave, just breathe, I was like, all right, I can do that.

I'm going to keep doing a couple more breaths.

And Sean, if I had let go then, I would have known that I would be here 15 years later sitting here with you.

But I took that extra breath.

I kept fighting.

And then thankfully, the chemotherapy kicked in.

And I'm sitting here with you 15 years later.
