And it's cancer and we don't know what kind, total blank at that point. I was like, okay, I heard nothing. His mouth was moving. But nothing was going in my ears at that point. I looked over at my girlfriends that were there, they frantically took out notebooks and were writing every single word. They were scribing because I didn't know what to say. And then he's like, I'm going to give you a couple minutes, and I'm going to leave the room and come back. He goes, read the notes from your girlfriends. Because he knew I wasn't listening. I was like, I have no idea.”Socials:Say Hi on Social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/SURVIVINGBREASTCANCERFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/SurvivingbreastcancerorgPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/BreastCancerConversations/Twitter: https://twitter.com/SBC_org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/survivingbreastcancerorg/_________________________Subscribe to our newsletter https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/subscribe-1Donate to our cause https://tinyurl.com/yc9cgt4eAttend an event https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/eventsSupport the showListener FeedbackIf this episode resonated with you, we invite you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.You can also click the link in the show notes that says "Love this episode?
