00:00 How are you? Because you look terrific. How are you doing?

00:02 Yeah, I'm OK. Taking every day as it comes.

00:08 once I rang that chemo bell, that was going to be it.

00:11 And actually, I find it mentally tougher now,

00:13 because I was seeing the doctor every other week.

00:16 I had a, you know, a routine. Yes.

00:19 And I honestly thought that, yeah, once I've rung the bell,

00:21 I'm going to be fine. But actually, I've broken my foot.

00:23 I've had a blood clot on my lung. Oh, love.

00:42 that you go through. Yes.
