HODA, I HAVE TO START WITH THIS. I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOUR DOCTOR.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOUR DOCTOR WAS THE BRILLIANT FREA SCHNABLE.
I GO THERE FOR MY MAMMOGRAMS.
LOVE HER.

AND THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD TEAM AROUND YOU, WHEN YOU FEAR
BAD NEWS OR GET BAD NEWS, CANNOT
BE OVERSTATED.
BE OVERSTATED. >> WHEN YOU CHOOSE A DOCTOR,
MEGYN, YOU KNOW THEYRE

SHE WALKED ME THROUGH IT. >> HOW IMPORTANT IS EARLY
DETECTION, IN YOUR CASE, AND
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM PEOPLE
ON THE PHONES WHO ARE AFRAID TO
GET THE FIRST MAMMOGRAM?
>> I REALLY DIDNT GET A
MAMMOGRAM.
MAMMOGRAM.
I FOUND IT ACCIDENTALLY WHEN I WENT TO THE GYNECOLOGIST.HEN I
WENT TO THE GYNECOLOGIST. AND IT ENDED UP BEING CANCER.
I WAS TELLING PEOPLE TO GET
MAMMOGRAMS AND I DIDNT DO IT
MYSELF.
MYSELF.
I HAVE TO SAY, THEY CAUGHT IT EARLY WITH ME. THEY CAUGHT IT
EARLY WITH ME. IT WAS STAGE I.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
I HAVE TO SAY, IF YOU SURVIVE
BREAST CANCER OR ANYTHING, YOU
GET FOUR WORDS.
THOSE FOUR WORDS ARE, YOU CANT
SCARE ME BECAUSE YOU HAVE
OVERCOME THAT.
OVERCOME THAT. AND WHAT YOU REALIZE AFTER
YOUVE COME THROUGH THE WEEDS ON
SOMETHING AS TERRIBLE AS BREAST
CANCER AND YOURE STILL
STANDING, EVERY DECISION IS
EASY.
EASY.
THE WORLD SNAPS INTO FOCUS. THERE IS KIND OF A SILVER LINING
AT THE END OF IT ALL.
I MEAN, YOU DONT REALIZE WHEN
YOURE DEEP IN IT.
BUT ONCE YOU EMERGE, I HAVE TO
TELL YOU, MEGYN, LIFE CHANGES IN
A WAY YOU DIDNT EXPECT.
AND IN A GOOD WAY.

LEARNING THESE THINGS.
