You are a women's health specialist.

Even with a diagnosis of breast cancer.

breast cancer.

So that took some time to come up with.

And then I was really lucky.

The book went to auction and, you know, it's done well.

And I'm grateful to be part of this bigger mission.

So Ellen, a made up name, but a real patient, was a patient of mine.

She was a mother of four.

She was incredible.

She was living with metastatic breast cancer.

So she knew she was gonna die of her cancer at some point.

And I went to see her in the hospital and it was about 18 hours before she died.
