I guarantee it." I was in remission for 11 and a half years, and it came back very aggressive.

I said, "Why did you give me false hope and told me that if I be- if I can s- stay 10 years and it doesn't come back, it'll never...
And now here I am with an aggressive form, and I have to go through all these treatments.

It's irritating all the dormant cancers and dormant viruses that are in, in everyone's system." And she started crying to me.
She said, "I've got to tell two people today that, in their 20s, that they're not gonna live.

There's some new treatments that came out." And I just mentally said, um, "I'm gonna beat it on the first round," and I did.
