You have been a patient.
And that's led you on a health journey for yourself and made you so passionate about bringing this to so many people.
And I think a lot of us who are in this field are like that.
We've had some horrible thing happen to us.
Regular medicine didn't figure it out.
And then we had to figure it out for ourselves.
So maybe you could share a little bit about, as a patient and survivor, what was it about your health journey that helped lead you to where you are now and this mission that you're on to bring health to so many?
And tell us a little bit about what you went through.
Yeah.
You didn't get breast cancer because you're eating crap or something.
That's crazy.
That's when they crack open your chest.
Yeah.
That's a lot to hold.
You had surgery.
You had chemo.
You had radiation.
Yeah.
And then you had a bone marrow transplant.
By the way, just for people listening who don't understand what a bone marrow transplant is, essentially they destroy your own immune system, they kill your bone marrow, and then they give you somebody else's bone marrow, which rebuilds your immune system, and then hopefully will help you survive.
