Yes, I've had,
yes I've had some health issues in the past.
I had pre-cancerous cells,
cervical when we--
Let me try that again.
At that time, we think it was just the pre-cancer
at that point but then, about four years later,
I ended up,
how do I even go about that, I'm sorry.
Several years later, it was told to me that
the cells had developed into cancer
and so, we had to do more procedures and treatment
at that time.
And at that time, I did lose my hair
and it was a very scary, emotional time in my life.
But you didn't lose your hair, you shaved your head.
Well, I shaved my head so I wouldn't have the
big clumps of hair falling out.
Well you said you lost your hair,
but you didn't.
You shaved your head.
In the beginning, I shaved my head
to where my hair was very short, yes.
And we asked you about this this morning
and you put our producer on the phone with a nurse
from the Christus Trinity Mother Frances Hospital
in your hometown, right?
Yes.
Sharon Hodges.
Yes.
Who's a nurse there.
Was she involved in your treatment?
Yes, I knew her from having visits there.
So, when you had your surgery and your chemo
and your radiation, she treated you?
Well, she was one of the nurses there.
And so, the producer talked to her
and she told the producer that you went through
cancer treatments, several months of chemo in 2012
and confirmed ovarian cancer.
We asked for Sharon's work email so we could also get
an email confirmation and she wouldn't do that.
She said she was worried that she would get in trouble.
I called and they told me I needed to sign
ya know, records release, and things that I don't know if--
Well, we had one more question for her.
So, we called back to that hospital
and asked for Sharon Hodges.
Okay.
And they said there's no Sharon Hodges that works there.
Who is Jenny?
It's her best friend.
One of my friends.
Because when you called Sharon Hodges on your
cell phone, the name Jenny came up in the screen.
(audience laughing)
Well yeah, 'cause I know Sharon.
That's what I was telling the producer.
But you have Sharon in your cell phone under Jenny?
No.
I called Jenny's phone.
I said, "Is this Sharon?"
She said, "This is Jenny, Cari."
I was like, "Oh, I need to talk to Sharon."
Why would Sharon be with Jenny?
Because we were all friends.
Does that not make sense?
Not at all. (audience laughing)
Okay.
The truth is, there's no Sharon Hodges that works
at that hospital.
She doesn't exist.
The hospital has no reason to lie about that.
But neither do I.
I did have to go through treatment.
I did have to go through chemo and radiation.
So, when you put our producer on the phone this morning
speaking to Sharon Hodges,
they were actually speaking to Jenny.
No, that still wasn't Jenny.
Who was it?
Her name is Sharon.
What was she doing at Jenny's house?
(audience laughing)
They are neighbors now.
I know it seems so coincidental.
I'm just hoping you'll clear it up for me
so I can understand.
Well I'm kind of confused at the same time.
So, I don't really know how I can
clear things up for you.
