Let me help with some of these other things.

But I would walk out of every single hospice visit

And I was like a samurai, like I was like a Zen monk.

Like I could hear the rain because I was like, I don't have esophageal cancer.

Like all the other stuff going on in my life right now, I don't have that.

Like I don't have what's going on behind that door right here on the street, just like the street you live on.

There's a house where someone right now

is like they're dying.

Like their father's dying, their mother's dying.

Like this is it, this is it.

And everything else falls away.

All the bullshit falls away.

All the things that were so important five minutes ago, when you got that diagnosis or you got told we can't do anything more.

Like when my mom had her last cancer surgery before she passed away 10 years ago,

They had said, this is gonna be about a 12 hour surgery.

And there's gonna be a team of surgeons working because there's different spots we have to.

So we like tucked in at the waiting room at Sloan Kettering.

We're like, okay, we're gonna be here a really long time.

20 minutes later, they came in and they said, it's like a bomb went off.

Like the cancer is everywhere.
