And even though it was early stages, I went, I flew to Houston to tell my sister Flo, and I said, well, I have the first, you know, I have the lowest stage. I have stage one. And she said, no, actually, it's the stage zero. And it just hit me that I could have got this at stage zero. And I am so blessed because they still got it very early and I didn't have to go to radiation or chemotherapy.

Thank you, Jesus. But the point is, is that I could have kept going and not going. And it could have been stage four by the time I went. So I wanted people to think about that for a second. And I can tell you that one of the best things to come of this is on my Instagram, I can't tell you how many people said, I'm going to go get my mammogram. I've been putting it off for three years.

You know, we have to, as women, take the time to take care of ourselves and go get our exams and not just put it off because there's so much going on all the time and you want to take care of everybody else.

Right. And me, you know, I was in the Hamptons. I was just having a good time. And I say that because I was there, and I was like, I'm just going to stay another few weeks. And then something just hit me one day that, Tina, you better go back and get that. that biopsy, you are being very irresponsible right now.

So I went home, you know, I went home, I think, two days later, and my kids were like, stay, don't go back. And, you know, I went, and thank God I went, because I would have came back and got busy, and then it would have been another year, and that's what happens to us. So please, please do that.

I think, you know, it's funny because I said, people approached me about a book before. And even when they approached me this time, which was different, I kept saying, I'm not telling y'all my kids' business. So if that's why they want to do a book deal, then I don't want to do it because I'm not going to share other people's stories. I'm not going to tell their business.
