I mean, there's, you know, you just do this analysis immediately.

You're like, what did I do wrong?

That's the natural thing.

You know, the why me, you know, everyone sees me in this external vision is, oh my gosh, she's so positive.

I bet she never has a bad day.

I cried.

I sobbed.

Like, what did this mean?

But it was very momentarily.

I knew, hey, I don't have time for this.

I've got to kind of figure out what my strategy is going to be.

And I hired the doctors I could trust.

You know, once I was given the diagnosis, and I really...

don't care when doctors, I think it's not a good idea when doctors give a finite number of how long you're going to be on earth, because I don't think we can really do an accurate prediction, especially nowadays.

We have so many advancements for cancer treatment.

We're seeing people being cured left and right.

Who are we to predict how long someone's going to live?

So I tell my patients often, they find it's very off-putting when an oncologist shares with them, you have X amount of time to live.

And I tell my patients, when you go meet with an oncologist, say, you don't want to have that number.

If you don't want that number, and you deserve to have the number if you want it.
