00:05It's a cruel, ugly, brutal place that's, and I don't know how,
00:12but it looks like I'm having the best luck in the world
00:16with defeating this cancer.
00:19Although the people, the oncologists, can't tell me that.
00:23They said because this cancer is so rare, so drastic, so severe,
00:30so awful, they are new.
00:33They don't know.
00:35They don't know what it's going to do.
00:38After my last treatment, I said,
00:39how long do I have to keep going with these treatments?
00:42And he said, well, that's up to you.
00:45I said, I thought I was in your hands.
00:47And he said, no, we know so little about this cancer
00:51that we don't know.
00:54If you stop taking the treatments, it may roar back into life.
01:00So I said, well, look, for an hour's treatment every three weeks,
01:05I think I can put up with that.
01:07And it looks like these very clever people are going to keep me alive.
