Yeah, that's true. Lynn Redgrave, God rest her. She was going through fifth stage breast cancer and on the downward slope. I wasn't done with chemo there, actually. I just was about to start it. And I was having gastro problems. And she said, you've got to do this. You're going to be somebody else, you know, as you're saying for the day. And she was right. You know, it gave me...
although I was pretty cranky for a while because I just wasn't, I wasn't healed yet. You know, I was, it was a little too soon, but it was also, I couldn't turn down the payday. I really needed the payday because I really dropped out. I was scared. I was one of those people. And this was with the ovarian.

I was one of those people who stayed up at night, you know, and looked at the internet to see if I could divine anything. But I, Knock wood, it's been 20 years, and I don't think I'm going to be having more problems with that.

I think that's a great point. And I think that's exactly what I experienced when I had ovarian cancer. You know, I had a friend at the time who was so supportive. And I remember at one point, we were getting ready to go somewhere and I was sitting on the step, lacing my shoes and my cap fell off and he sort of laughed. And I just said, this is so hard for me.

And then I found out that as I progressed through the chemotherapy, this was for ovarian, that people have exactly that reaction. Only they left sooner during my, because it went on for nine months. My doctor wanted me to do it for six months, but he said, you're doing well. So let's do it, you know, another three months.

And people just sort of dropped away because they didn't, they said, wow, you know, isn't this over? Isn't it going to be done? Is it, you know, they didn't have the patients really. And so I went to my chemotherapy sessions by myself. I got to the point.

Well, I got to the point of where I would just go by myself. It was easier to go and hope that I got the really good looking Russian nurse who would come in. I don't know what his name was. I can't remember, Vasily or something like that, or Ivan. I was like, oh my God, he's here today. Great, great. But it would take about four hours to be in there.

And they gave me a private room and all of that. So being a VIP help, and thank God with the breast cancer, I didn't have to go through chemotherapy or radiation, which is one reason why I opted to just make it a double. But I was really enraged after, but we talked about that before.
