01:26: Would you please take us back to the very beginning of your cancer journey?
03:23: My absolute worst moment was when I met with the surgical oncologist after my MRI.
05:11: We didn't know how far the cancer had spread at that point.
07:01: Did you stay at Cancer Treatment Centers of America?
09:20: I do know this: people that have healthy lifestyle habits do better in the cancer treatment journey.
11:12: By the time they removed the tumor and cleared the margins, it left me with a small breast which was fine.
13:03: I ended up doing two miles that day.
15:18: I was able to put a routine together that not only oxygenated my body but held my bone density.
17:16: I'm curious what you think about Chinese medicine. Because in Chinese medicine, certain emotions reside in certain organs of the body.
19:31: I find this research that shows that grief can suppress the immune system.
21:28: I believe it was that acupuncture; she was stimulating my red blood cells to build themselves back up.

26:40: If you could only do one thing to improve health care in the US, what would it be and why?
