00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,880
Welcome to the Bob and Cancer Show.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,880
Hi, I'm Bob Kevoian and I hate my partner and I want to kill him.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,920
As you know, my new partner is cancer.

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,000
Uh, I did not ask for this new partner.

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,880
It was thrown upon me.

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,880
I don't care for him.

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:21,720
Boo.

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Want to get them out of the studio, get them out of my life.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,400
And that is what this podcast is all about.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,400
I am with my co-hosts, one, my wife, Becky.

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,320
We have a live audience.

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,920
Let's hear my live audience.

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Give me some love.

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,880
And my best buddy, uh, Whit Grayson.

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,720
Hello all.

16
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:45,080
And the reason we have a live audience is we are broadcasting from Speedway,

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,360
Indiana, right across the street from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,200
most famous racetrack in the world.

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,520
And we're here.

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,880
We're here with Bob.

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,320
You guys are, uh,

22
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,720
our, uh, our goal.

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,520
And we found out all about this was to, as you, we've mentioned before

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,760
Joey's graduation and the Indy 500 were my goals to get through all this.

25
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,480
And we've, uh, we've made it.

26
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,080
You've made it.

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,160
Uh, tomorrow is race day.

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,640
And if you look, if everybody looks up right now, you can see a skydiver

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,600
with a trailing smoke, trying to find the infield.

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000
I hope he doesn't run into one of the big screens.

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,480
You know what?

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,040
We just lost our entire audience.

33
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,200
I know it's, I'd much rather watch that guy.

34
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Maybe, maybe I've got the best view.

35
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,680
Well, maybe his treatments didn't go as well as yours, Bob.

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,200
Yes.

37
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Oh, you don't know.

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,600
You don't know.

39
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,120
No, you don't.

40
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,120
It's unclear.

41
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,120
It's unclear.

42
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,520
That's chemo coming out his ass up there.

43
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,680
I didn't know it was red.

44
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,840
No, I expected more of a tan.

45
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Right.

46
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Right.

47
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,120
But yes, we are live and excited about the race tomorrow.

48
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
This will be, this episode will be aired as well.

49
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,120
All the episodes be aired after the race.

50
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Mm hmm.

51
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,880
So we can get all of the six weeks of treatment into one little

52
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,000
summarized package for you.

53
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,560
And would you listen to Bob?

54
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,800
He just sounds like a million bucks.

55
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Well, after my final week, I was pretty tired.

56
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Yeah, you were.

57
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,240
It was, it was, and that was one of the, one of the things that I

58
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,600
was, and that was one of the side effects.

59
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,800
They said there would definitely be fatigue and I felt it.

60
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,240
I feel a little today, but I think I can walk across the street and see the race.

61
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Yeah.

62
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,640
How long, how long ago was the last treatment?

63
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Uh, last Monday.

64
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Okay.

65
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,200
Last chemo treatment.

66
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,440
But I mean, the last radiation was Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

67
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,400
We'll get to that wet.

68
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:42,920
Okay.

69
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:43,800
Am I, am I jumping?

70
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,840
See, yeah, I don't, I'm given show prep, but I don't pay attention.

71
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,760
No, why do you?

72
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,440
No, just like Tom.

73
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,520
So yeah, the, uh, the week started with our, uh, our final week, three

74
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,560
radiations, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

75
00:02:59,600 --> 00:02:59,920
Okay.

76
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,880
Uh, luckily they changed my last one to seven 30 in the morning.

77
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,520
Wow.

78
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,280
So I got up early.

79
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,640
We're like, wait, when they scheduled it on Tuesday, they told us what time

80
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:11,920
we were coming in on Wednesday.

81
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:12,760
And we're like, what?

82
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,160
Seven?

83
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,560
What?

84
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,080
We're not up at that time.

85
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,120
We're retired.

86
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,760
But we remembered of course, that that used to be halfway through our day.

87
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,920
When he was doing the show, the Bob and Tom show, we were almost, you

88
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,720
were almost telling me I was working.

89
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,800
I was looking, I was looking at the, watching the clock as I was going

90
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,960
to go home in a couple of hours.

91
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Yep.

92
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,320
But we got there and did it.

93
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,360
Got there, did it.

94
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Uh, got my last, uh, zap of steroids, which is another reason why I'm here.

95
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Because I, I have a lot of energy right now.

96
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,640
So they gave you steroids to like, kind of set you up for the long weekend, basically.

97
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,280
Yeah, for the most part.

98
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,880
That's nice.

99
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Yeah.

100
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,640
So is that available to anyone?

101
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,960
I know a guy.

102
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,560
Okay.

103
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Good.

104
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,400
Good.

105
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,680
So if you need them, but now I want to buy a weight machine.

106
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,120
I don't know.

107
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,440
It's the oddest thing.

108
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Yeah.

109
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,840
So it's been, it's good.

110
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,120
We're here.

111
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,600
We're very excited.

112
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,600
And I'm so happy he's here because when this diagnosis first came down, and of

113
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,040
course we were so scared and so shocked and we had no idea of what was going to happen.

114
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,200
And of course we've mentioned so many times Joey's graduation from law school

115
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,880
and he made it, Bob made it.

116
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,040
He was tired by the end, but he made it huge.

117
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:31,080
And then the race and we really, I mean, be honest with, did you think we were going to be down here?

118
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,040
I was 50, 50, 50.

119
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:33,520
Yeah.

120
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,200
Cause I, even though I knew you were going to set this up, I thought his butt would be dragging.

121
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:37,600
Yep.

122
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,720
I did too.

123
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:49,800
And I figured there's just no way I'm going to be able to attend this, but it's amazing what, what luck I've had as far as how all these treatments took place.

124
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,960
It's hard enough to be with family when you're normal.

125
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,400
True.

126
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,160
But when alone, when your butt's dragging.

127
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,760
When you're hyped up on steroids?

128
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,160
Yes.

129
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:57,640
My God.

130
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,160
He's ready to put up his Dukes.

131
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,040
Come on, Frank.

132
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,720
Let's wrestle.

133
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:02,440
Come on.

134
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,680
Well, I feel like you should give some context.

135
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,120
You keep talking about the race.

136
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,680
You're not just at the race.

137
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,360
This is.

138
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,640
We're at checkerboard square.

139
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,960
You want to give some background?

140
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Yeah.

141
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:17,880
We, we've done podcasts from here before from our Junebugjourneys.com podcast.

142
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,160
Get that plug in, honey.

143
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Well, we have been really way behind on the Junebug journeys and everything kind of changed in our lives after we lost our sister and our sister, Lynn, and then Bob's diagnosis and all.

144
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,600
We're not even thinking about Junebug journeys, but we came down to checkerboard square.

145
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,880
There are six of us.

146
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Well, why don't you tell the logistics of what we've done?

147
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:52,720
Well, we have six RVs and we are in a huge rectangle and we have, I guess, surrounded these around us and we have a beautiful courtyard designed for cooking, eating, drinking.

148
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,720
A big, beautiful tent.

149
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,480
A fire pit.

150
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,560
You got shade.

151
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:55,960
Yeah.

152
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,800
It's beautiful.

153
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,360
We have everything.

154
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:57,640
It's.

155
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Privacy from the riffraff.

156
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,680
Self-contained in here.

157
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,840
Well, that's the nicest portal it I have ever been in my life.

158
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,640
In fact, a butler handed me a towel and some aftershave.

159
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,640
That's incredible.

160
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,640
Did you give him a tip?

161
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,440
Yes, I did.

162
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,840
See, Jeffrey, I told you.

163
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,440
He ran out of mints or you'd have got one of those also.

164
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,840
It is nice, but I don't use it.

165
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:27,240
I wouldn't go near it, but Frank pays for it, I guess, and brings it out so he doesn't have to use the facilities in his camper.

166
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,240
Good call.

167
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Is it his choice or his wife's?

168
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,640
I think it's the whole family's choice.

169
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Alright, okay.

170
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Probably.

171
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,240
But no, we have it all set up with six different campers.

172
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,040
My sister, Susan, and her husband, Frank.

173
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,440
You all know as what the Frank.

174
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,240
My brother, Yale, and his wife, Carol are out here.

175
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,640
My best friend from home, Elnorann, and her husband, Steve.

176
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,840
Yay.

177
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:49,240
Yay.

178
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Yale's friends, Matt and Becky, who are from somewhere around here.

179
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,640
I don't know.

180
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,440
Local people.

181
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,440
And our good friends from Nashville, Tennessee, Bert and Laura.

182
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,040
So we have an excellent group of people.

183
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,040
Everyone's pitched in on food except us.

184
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Because my brother, Yale, said when we were planning the stay, we always divvy up who's doing breakfast and who's doing supper.

185
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040
And we eat like kings.

186
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:24,040
But Yale said in the group text that we had called Checkerboard Square, he said, I think the Kvoins get a pass this year.

187
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,040
And we're like, yes.

188
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,040
Yay.

189
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,040
I'm faking cancer next year.

190
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,040
But it really did give us the opportunity to focus on Bob, keeping Bob healthy.

191
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
And we got to come down and just be relaxed.

192
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:47,040
It's the first time we've ever not loaded up pans and food and all the gear that goes along with cooking out here.

193
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,040
It was just great.

194
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040
And I thank Yale for that idea.

195
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Thank you, brother.

196
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,040
Indeed. Thank you.

197
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Little did I know how much tenderloin cost.

198
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,040
He said little did he know how much beef tenderloin cost.

199
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,040
Well, that's what we always provide it every year.

200
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Thank you again, Yale.

201
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040
You're more than welcome.

202
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,040
Yeah.

203
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,040
So.

204
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,040
So, yes, we have we've made it.

205
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,040
We have.

206
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,040
I'm very excited.

207
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,040
It's tremendous.

208
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,040
The week ended without the week.

209
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,040
Let's start at the beginning.

210
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,040
How you felt?

211
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,040
Because you felt pretty.

212
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,040
I did. I mentioned that I was very fatigued.

213
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,040
And I was blue, which I'm not a blue person.

214
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,040
I'm very positive.

215
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,040
You're as positive as they can.

216
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040
But I think it was Tuesday.

217
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,040
I just felt overwhelmed.

218
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,040
And I'm not getting chemo or radiation or anything.

219
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:38,040
I had no reason to feel that way, except I felt kind of overwhelmed.

220
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,040
I think it was because my grief over losing our sister, Lynn, has been deferred.

221
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,040
And so it kind of pops up at weird times.

222
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,040
And I felt sad and just just plain sad.

223
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,040
But it went away like the next day because I have no reason to have a pity party.

224
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Good grief.

225
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,040
I'm surrounded by love and family.

226
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,040
So it didn't last.

227
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,040
And we got through it.

228
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,040
And Bob got some steroids and fluids.

229
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,040
I got some steroids.

230
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:11,040
The last three days were the longest three days of all of this treatment.

231
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,040
Because I was so excited for it to be over.

232
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Be over. Yep.

233
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,040
And Tuesday came, went, and then they moved everything up on Wednesday.

234
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040
And I was thrilled.

235
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040
And we got out early, even after we had radiation.

236
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:30,040
And then the time with the fluids and the steroid injections, the ants in your pants injection.

237
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,040
Got it all.

238
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,040
You didn't get any ants in your pants again.

239
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,040
No. He never did have it.

240
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040
No. It was done properly.

241
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,040
He's had ants in his pants.

242
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,040
Not by choice. No.

243
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,040
No.

244
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040
But Wednesday was my big graduation day.

245
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Yes, it was. It was so great.

246
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,040
I got a diploma and everything.

247
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Really? Are you serious?

248
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,040
He did. Oh, yeah.

249
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,040
The girls in the radiation department.

250
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,040
Well, first of all, let me just say, Bob sent them flowers.

251
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Can you believe that?

252
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,040
Bob Kavoyan, in the middle of all this, thought.

253
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,040
Hey, I'm a softy inside.

254
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,040
He is a softy and he loves those girls.

255
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,040
We can't use their names, I'm afraid.

256
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,040
Can we use your name?

257
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,040
Probably not.

258
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Probably better not.

259
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Well, we have one of them here today.

260
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,040
And we're not going to tell you which one.

261
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,040
So let's give her a hand.

262
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Yay, Paula.

263
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,040
She treated us like we were royalty.

264
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,040
I'm not kidding.

265
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Those girls, every day, we walked in there five days a week for almost six weeks.

266
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,040
And they were kind and smiley and always happy and encouraging and just beautiful.

267
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040
Just beautiful.

268
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,040
And then Bob, so he sent those girls flowers, which I thought was super sweet.

269
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,040
My husband is a sweetie.

270
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,040
I try.

271
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,040
And we got to visit with them for a few minutes before he went back for his final radiation.

272
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,040
And I'll let you take it from there.

273
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:04,040
Well, you go in there, you pass this bell every time you go in and out of the hallway to the radiation room.

274
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,040
And on occasion you hear it ring.

275
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,040
Oh, it's glorious in the waiting room to hear that bell ring.

276
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,040
It's great.

277
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,040
And then I got to ring it.

278
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,040
Oh, that's fantastic.

279
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Way to go, Bob.

280
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,040
So come on, you guys.

281
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,040
Look, Bob.

282
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,040
We all have bells.

283
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Can you guys hear it?

284
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Will they be able to hear it?

285
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,040
I think so, yeah.

286
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,040
They can hear it.

287
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Yay.

288
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Yeah, so that was a...

289
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Bob got to ring that bell.

290
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,040
That's so cool.

291
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,040
And all the techs and everybody came out.

292
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,040
And I don't know exactly who all was who because I never went back there.

293
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,040
I wasn't really privy to how many girls he was flirting with.

294
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,040
Well, that's because that's the VIP room.

295
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Becky, that's the VIP room in the back.

296
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Let me clear it up right now.

297
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,040
I flirted with all of them.

298
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Fact.

299
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Yes.

300
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,040
I always thought that bell was for tipping.

301
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,040
I thought somebody had slipped him a 20.

302
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,040
Somebody gave him 50% tip.

303
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,040
That's what I thought.

304
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Okay.

305
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,040
But tell about the girls in the actual radiation.

306
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,040
But I go in there, I lay down, I put my hands over my head, stay in a position.

307
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040
That's when all the phantom itching starts.

308
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,040
You want to scratch and move and you can't do it.

309
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,040
And all of a sudden this thing rotates around me three times.

310
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,040
And it takes, I don't know, five to seven minutes for it to take place.

311
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,040
And I know when the final rotation is.

312
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,040
And I was just like, oh, thank God.

313
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Victory is over.

314
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Victory is yours.

315
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,040
So they move the machine out and the bed starts to lower.

316
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:42,040
And three of the girls are in there with these big party hats on.

317
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Oh, wow.

318
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Isn't that awesome?

319
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Said congrats, Bob.

320
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,040
And it was great.

321
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Oh, that's so swell.

322
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,040
That's so cool.

323
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,040
It's so swell.

324
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,040
It is.

325
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,040
So it was a great experience.

326
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,040
They're just so loving.

327
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,040
I couldn't believe it.

328
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,040
It didn't feel like a hospital setting.

329
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,040
I mean, it was.

330
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,040
You're going in a depressing place and we're seeing people much sicker than Bob and grieving

331
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040
for them and what they're all going through.

332
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,040
But the girls there, bless you, Paula.

333
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Just so good.

334
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,040
Send your friend who will remain naveless.

335
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,040
Who, Michelle?

336
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,040
I'm sorry.

337
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Nobody's going to hear this anyway.

338
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,040
No, no, no.

339
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,040
The tens of people who hear this will be amazed.

340
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,040
But seriously, just fantastic.

341
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,040
So to you people out there who might be listening and have a diagnosis, don't be afraid.

342
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,040
The people at the cancer centers are kind and they will walk you through it and help

343
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,040
you all along the way.

344
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,040
They did.

345
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,040
I would go in there scared and they would make us feel so comfortable and confident

346
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,040
that Bob was going to be okay and this treatment wasn't scary.

347
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,540
No, not for me.

348
00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:51,040
For some it might be.

349
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,040
But it turned out to be as easy as I could have ever dreamed.

350
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Well, and maybe to put in context from the day we started, Becky, your brother Yale asked

351
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,040
me, we hadn't seen each other, what were your thoughts when you first heard the news?

352
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,040
I was devastated. We all were.

353
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:15,040
You went from this fear of the unknown to these professionals, took care of you.

354
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,040
And you know the path we walked down.

355
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Yes. And you are blessed that they caught this early.

356
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,040
You are blessed that you have a great team.

357
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,040
Yes, that's the wonderful thing is that.

358
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,040
I want to toot that catch it early horn as much as I can.

359
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,040
And like Yale said, we were devastated.

360
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040
We all were. Because you hear cancer.

361
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,040
Yeah, and the first thing you think of is.

362
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Game over.

363
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,040
Yeah.

364
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040
And now treatments have gone well.

365
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Although now that we have a professional here who was in the radiation room.

366
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Should I repeat what you said two weeks ago?

367
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,040
I don't know what that was.

368
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,040
She wasn't sure you were getting the right spot.

369
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,040
Oh, I did do that.

370
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,040
I said, I think they're trained.

371
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Becky, I think.

372
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,040
I didn't believe it.

373
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,040
I know.

374
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,040
I was doubtful.

375
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,040
Because he had no symptoms.

376
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,040
And I said it to the doctor, to his face.

377
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:05,040
And I said it to him again two weeks later because he kept saying, you're going to hate me next week.

378
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,040
And never happened.

379
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,040
And Bob never hated him.

380
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,040
No, no.

381
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,040
I don't.

382
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,040
I'm still a little bit dubious.

383
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,040
Maybe we were in a study and we were the placebo because we never.

384
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,040
I think they were.

385
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Wouldn't they tell me that?

386
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,040
OK, I'll get.

387
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Then I'll just sneak a placebo on you.

388
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Do you know who tells you that?

389
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,040
Alan Funt.

390
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,040
Smile.

391
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,040
You're on cancer camera.

392
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040
You're on candid camera.

393
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,040
Yeah.

394
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,040
So Wednesday was a big, big day for me.

395
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,040
We went home with big smiles on our face.

396
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,040
We did.

397
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,040
And I had to fill a prescription.

398
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,040
So I figured I had a few steroids.

399
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,040
So I can have more steroids.

400
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,040
I can carry these with me.

401
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,040
OK.

402
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,040
So I have to fill the prescription.

403
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,040
So I planned my route out of a few other errands to take care of that day.

404
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,040
I was getting my nails done.

405
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,040
So I figured, all right, I'll take a look at my route.

406
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
OK, I'll do this, this, this, this and this.

407
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,040
And then I'll be home in this.

408
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,040
Right.

409
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Well, I did this, this and then went to the pharmacy and the pharmacy was closed.

410
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,040
What?

411
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,040
All pharmacies now close between one thirty and two o'clock in our state.

412
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,040
I don't know why.

413
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,040
For lunch, I pulled out one forty five.

414
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,040
It's a smoke break.

415
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,040
Yeah.

416
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,040
You know, your pharmacist has to smoke and you can't smoke inside.

417
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,040
Right.

418
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,040
So I figured, all right, I'll drive.

419
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,040
I'll just do a 15 minute drive.

420
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,040
Put the top down, turn up the music.

421
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Sure.

422
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,040
And I had my insurer with me.

423
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040
That's a drink for old people.

424
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,040
It's a protein drink.

425
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,040
Right.

426
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,040
That says you're old.

427
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,040
Yeah, I mean.

428
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,040
So he's driving top down on a Jeep.

429
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,040
So I am top down.

430
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,040
Musica.

431
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,040
Volume up.

432
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,040
Sipping an insurer.

433
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Listening to Steppenwolf.

434
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,040
Look it out.

435
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Here we go.

436
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Get your motor running.

437
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,040
That is your badass senior citizen right there.

438
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,040
Man.

439
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,040
But those insurers, man, they have paid off.

440
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Bob is bulked up.

441
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,040
He's still at my heavy honey.

442
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,040
He hasn't lost that weight.

443
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,040
I know.

444
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,040
He did exactly as we asked him to do.

445
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Carrying the weight and it's not easy.

446
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,040
My bones aren't built for this kind of.

447
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,040
This heaviness.

448
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Can you feel the.

449
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,040
I mean.

450
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,040
Yeah.

451
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Okay.

452
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,040
All right.

453
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,040
Walking around.

454
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,040
He keeps saying he's got a big belly.

455
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,040
I don't think he does, but he thinks he does.

456
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,040
I do.

457
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,040
It's there.

458
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,040
But.

459
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,040
You ought to see me naked sometimes.

460
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,040
I think that's back in play, right?

461
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040
I believe it is.

462
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,040
Yeah.

463
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,040
Yeah.

464
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,040
Yeah.

465
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,040
So, but it was funny.

466
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,160
So, but that was the same day we had to prep to come down to the track to check a board

467
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,040
square and let me tell you, our families have stepped up to help us.

468
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,040
Well, I think it's the big one.

469
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,040
It's a bomb there.

470
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,040
I hope it's one of ours.

471
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,040
It's a bomb, right?

472
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Okay.

473
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Yeah.

474
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,960
But we had help loading up our son Wade loaded up the pickup.

475
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,360
And we had help loading up the camper and getting everything together so that we could come

476
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:57,500
down here and join everybody.

477
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:59,880
But everybody else had their own campers to deal with too.

478
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,080
So we were all busy that day.

479
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Got down here and you, you made it.

480
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,200
Yeah, I made it.

481
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,160
And now we're all set up ready for the race.

482
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,320
And I could not be happier.

483
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Yeah.

484
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,640
And now we, we await our next step.

485
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,640
Which is?

486
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,400
Which is I have some pre tests for before surgery.

487
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,400
Okay.

488
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,680
And then a, this is down the road.

489
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,680
A PET scan.

490
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,680
Okay.

491
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,880
And then, uh, lastly, the surgery.

492
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,880
All right.

493
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,080
So that scan is June 20th.

494
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Here comes flyover.

495
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Yes.

496
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,000
It's a pause for a flyover.

497
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
This is the flyover.

498
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520
It's a big practice for the show tomorrow.

499
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,680
Is it the Blue Angels tomorrow?

500
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,680
I don't know.

501
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,680
I'm out of the loop.

502
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,680
I don't know.

503
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,680
I'm under a tent.

504
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,680
Okay.

505
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,680
So I'm not sure what went over us.

506
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,680
I don't know.

507
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,680
Now I lost my train of thought too.

508
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,200
No, but it's just a matter of, uh, my last is the surgery.

509
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,200
Yeah.

510
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,400
We'll do is, uh, we'll post these six episodes and then we'll do another one after the PET

511
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,560
scan and we'll do another one after the surgery.

512
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,560
Okay.

513
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,640
And to keep you up.

514
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,080
So you have an ending to the story.

515
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,760
We don't want to leave you hanging.

516
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,480
What happened to Bob?

517
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,760
So I'm not finished.

518
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,560
Are you, are you cutting this thing off?

519
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,640
No, I'm trying to, I got places to go on this talk.

520
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,320
I understand that, but there are one thing we're trying to do is walk these people through

521
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,320
these treatments.

522
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Okay.

523
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,320
Good point.

524
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,320
You're right.

525
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,320
You're right.

526
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,320
It's the Bob and cancer show.

527
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,600
It's not the Bob and Becky show.

528
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,600
Okay.

529
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,600
I get it.

530
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,680
So now you may continue.

531
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:32,520
Well, I forgot to mention when we introduced the woman who shall be remain, shall remain

532
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,480
nameless Paula, um, how we got around, we didn't really get around, but we had to be

533
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:44,300
very concerned about the HIPAA violation because she's not allowed to say anything.

534
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:50,380
If she saw you on the street, she's not allowed to say hi Bob or even hi, probably her family

535
00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:52,880
wouldn't know who you, how she would know you.

536
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,320
And she can't say because there's laws against that to protect our privacy.

537
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,720
Can she still say my eyes are up here, Bob?

538
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Yes.

539
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,560
I just, I don't know how the HIPAA works.

540
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,280
But it's a violation if she says Bob.

541
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Okay.

542
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,640
So they're camping out here.

543
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,320
In fact, it just, uh, it came up in conversation at the cancer center that we were going to

544
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,360
be down here camping.

545
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:20,200
And that was our goal to get Bob down to check checkerboard square.

546
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,800
And she said, well, I camp out there and I asked which lot and it just so happened that

547
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,120
they're in the same lot that we're in.

548
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:33,520
And so it comes around that she couldn't come to our campsite because that would be violating

549
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,040
HIPAA if she let it be known that she knew us.

550
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,040
How would, how in the heck would she know us?

551
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:46,160
So I took it upon myself to just wander over to her campsite and introduce myself to her

552
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:53,480
family and friends that are there and said, this woman, uh, Paula takes care of my husband

553
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,040
at the cancer center.

554
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,840
So that allows us to now be friends and she didn't initiate it.

555
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,840
It was me.

556
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,520
I walked over and like, because I don't want somebody to hear this podcast and think how

557
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,080
in the heck did she get over to your campsite?

558
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,080
Cause that would be violating and she didn't.

559
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:17,040
I went and invited her to come over and let it be known that, that her family was free

560
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,560
to know that, that you guys were working with Bob.

561
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,400
And also we're probably violating HIPAA by broadcasting that I have cancer.

562
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,400
I don't know.

563
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,400
I mean, I told Becky when she said that, that she could not approach your friend, Paula.

564
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,560
Now I feel better about why no woman would talk to me at a kegger in college.

565
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,360
It was a HIPAA violation Bob.

566
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:41,360
I feel better about that.

567
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:42,760
I think it was a hipness.

568
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:43,760
Okay, good.

569
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Or lack thereof, right?

570
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,200
Oh, I see these boys, these boys are good.

571
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,520
So I just wanted to clear that up because I was afraid I would get to the end of the

572
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,200
podcast, forget to have said that.

573
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,000
Then she gets to work and someone goes, well, well, you're in trouble now.

574
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
You broke all the rules.

575
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,840
Well, you know, I don't know when HIPAA started, but you're a big Andy Griffith fan.

576
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Yes, I am.

577
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,760
Remember the lady that wanted her pills when new Ellie, Ellie was the new drug.

578
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,600
Everybody in town knew what she was taking.

579
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,160
It was a sugar pill.

580
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,440
They called it a sugar pill.

581
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,720
It was a simpler time.

582
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,720
Yeah.

583
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Yeah.

584
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,720
It really was.

585
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,720
Everybody in town knew she took sugar pills.

586
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,720
Yes, exactly.

587
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,680
So she got her sugar pills.

588
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,360
And we've been watching Andy every night.

589
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,760
You watch them sequentially, right?

590
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,760
Yes, we started.

591
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,880
We started season one all the way through and that's been our, I guess, put us in a

592
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,640
good mood before we go to sleep, before we go to treatment the next day.

593
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040
It's just a joyful show to watch.

594
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,000
And I've been a fan for ever, ever decades.

595
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,680
And I love them and I know the episodes.

596
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,040
I know the dialogue and it's been really special to watch them.

597
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,520
Bob will say, well, let's turn on an Andy and it's 11 o'clock or 1130 and to watch it

598
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,060
with Bob, to have him experience it with me.

599
00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:57,240
And it just puts us in a great frame of mind.

600
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,200
I love Andy so much.

601
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,400
There's two words that define the death of Andy Griffith.

602
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,400
Howard Sprague.

603
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,800
Oh, that's when it all went south.

604
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,800
We're still in the good years.

605
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,920
I thought you were going to say in color.

606
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,920
Well same thing.

607
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,920
It could be either.

608
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,920
I think they were coinciding.

609
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,920
I mean, they happened at the same time.

610
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,920
Yeah.

611
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,920
Yeah.

612
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,920
That was bad.

613
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,920
Or Barney leaving.

614
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,920
Oh, Barney leaving.

615
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,920
That's so sad.

616
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:19,920
Well, let's just do a whole podcast on Andy.

617
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,920
We should.

618
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,920
We could.

619
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,920
Might as well start.

620
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,920
Yeah, we could.

621
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,200
But no, it's been really special.

622
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Really a neat time.

623
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:36,800
It's been an unusual time for us, but it's a time that wasn't as frightening as I thought

624
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,920
it would be.

625
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
It came out great.

626
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,600
Our next step is what we wait for and hopefully that will come out great.

627
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,200
I was shocked, I guess, two days after the news.

628
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,200
I saw you.

629
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,200
Yeah.

630
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,200
It was the day of the Masters.

631
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Yeah.

632
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,640
And I told Becky I was just so pleased how resolute you were.

633
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,920
I'm just going to kick this thing's ass.

634
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,400
I'm going to do what they tell me to do.

635
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,400
We'll get through this.

636
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840
See, it was not a pity party at all.

637
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,160
We did learn in the chemotherapy section, which is a different area of the hospital,

638
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,080
and we only went there once a week, but we were there longer.

639
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,880
We did learn that a lot of people do not do what they suggest you do, which is hydrate,

640
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,800
hydrate, hydrate, protein, protein, protein, for him.

641
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,120
Now, every patient is different.

642
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:25,680
Calories, calories, let's keep this guy from losing those 20 or 30 pounds that they were

643
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,560
afraid he would lose or they actually projected he would lose.

644
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,560
Interesting.

645
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,040
And instead he gained more than 10.

646
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,360
But we did learn that some people will say, well, I had two coffees and three Pepsi's

647
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,520
and such and such and it's like that is not hydrating.

648
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,400
And Bob is not a water drinker, but he has become a water drinker.

649
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,400
That's amazing to me that you now embrace water.

650
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,400
I do.

651
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,400
You know why he's done it?

652
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,200
Because he loves me and he wants to stick around.

653
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,800
Well, he's afraid of you too.

654
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,640
You know how much trouble I'd be in if I died?

655
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Are you kidding me?

656
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:04,760
See the week of Masters, on Wednesday, I had planned to fake cancer so I didn't have to

657
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,720
do anything so I could watch the tournament all the way through the weekend.

658
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,200
And instead, you know what?

659
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Well, it came at, but I still laid around and watched the Masters all weekend.

660
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,960
Actually we, and I think we've mentioned it on the podcast before, thank God for the Masters.

661
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:25,840
Because those days were the first dark days of fear and the unknown and we had the Masters

662
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,840
to focus on.

663
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,840
And we did.

664
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,720
We just like were numb.

665
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,720
Vegged out.

666
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,080
But I think was the next day.

667
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,080
Who won?

668
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,080
You did, Bob.

669
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,560
You know, in the long run I did.

670
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,360
So who, was it the next day?

671
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,200
Was it that Monday was your first treatment?

672
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,200
No, we had a week.

673
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,200
You had a week, okay.

674
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,200
A test in between.

675
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,200
All right, I couldn't remember.

676
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:50,720
We had a week and we had to go through a couple of initiation, orientation on what was going

677
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,720
to happen.

678
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,720
Secret handshakes.

679
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,720
Right, yeah.

680
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Oh yeah.

681
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,720
And we got all that and the following Monday everything started and now it's a...

682
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,800
And that's when he started the heavy hydrating and calories and all that.

683
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,800
And we've carried that on and I'm continuing to carry that on although the dietitian who

684
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,100
contacted us, they have a whole team over there, man.

685
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:09,980
We have our own dietitian.

686
00:26:09,980 --> 00:26:17,080
And she said he can lessen his calorie intake now because he was up over 3,000, 3,500 calories

687
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,080
a day.

688
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,000
My doctor is frowning on that but I don't care.

689
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Yeah.

690
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Yeah.

691
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
So we're...

692
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,960
You know, the best thing you can ever do is get cancer and have free Grater's ice cream.

693
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,400
He had ice cream almost every night.

694
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,120
You had more paydays in your kitchen than in a movie theater lobby, Bob.

695
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:36,120
I had a whole display.

696
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:37,120
It was calorie central.

697
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,120
Yeah.

698
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,120
Every snack known to humans.

699
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,120
It was part of a movie theater.

700
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:41,120
We did.

701
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:45,840
And at about 10.30 at night I'd say, you need a few more calories today and he'd just go,

702
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,000
well, let's have ice cream.

703
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Let's go.

704
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,720
So we did and he's been fantastic about it.

705
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Just great.

706
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,160
And it's carried on down here.

707
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,160
We're eating like kings.

708
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,120
We always eat like kings at Checkerboard Square but I've never had to count his calories and

709
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,000
protein before.

710
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
And luckily we've had pulled pork.

711
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,720
We've had every kind of turkey, pork chops.

712
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,080
We had tuna salad.

713
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,080
I don't eat it.

714
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,080
It's crap.

715
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:16,920
Yesterday I was talking with our nephew Jake about protein.

716
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,240
And we're talking back and forth and said, yeah, I'm eating all this protein.

717
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,760
He goes, you know, that protein is really good for actually losing weight.

718
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,040
He goes, are you on the keto?

719
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,040
The keto diet?

720
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,240
I said, no, I'm on the chemo diet.

721
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,240
And they're slightly different.

722
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,240
It's a little different.

723
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,240
Yeah.

724
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,240
Uh-huh.

725
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,320
But yeah, it's...

726
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,640
He has learned things that don't work for swallowing.

727
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,640
He doesn't like...

728
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,760
I make homemade bread and I made all this bread for him and he's not...

729
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,520
It's not that he doesn't like it.

730
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,600
It's just he can't swallow it.

731
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,320
If I have bread, I can't have ice cream.

732
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,640
You get too full.

733
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,760
I would choose ice cream.

734
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,040
He has trouble swallowing that.

735
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,040
I do.

736
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,040
Bread is a little difficult to swallow.

737
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,480
And that is really the only problem I'm having is bread.

738
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,360
Everything else I can swallow easily.

739
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:02,360
Okay.

740
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,360
Yeah.

741
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:04,560
When we've been having all of it.

742
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Yeah.

743
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,920
And speaking of our friends and family helping us, it was time for Bob to have some kind

744
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,920
of a snack.

745
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,160
He's supposed to eat before he's hungry, which is a weird thing.

746
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,160
It's not good for you.

747
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,160
It's very weird.

748
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,160
I mean, unless you're having cancer treatment.

749
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,720
So, I said, honey, it's time for you to have something to eat.

750
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,400
And he said, well, what you got?

751
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,780
Well, our friend Laura was sitting there and she said, I have tuna salad.

752
00:28:26,780 --> 00:28:30,760
And she brought him out because she loves us and wanted to serve him and help him.

753
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,360
He brought out a beautiful glob of this horrifying stuff that I wouldn't touch with the 10 foot

754
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,160
pole, but he loved it.

755
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,960
See, but Laura loves me.

756
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Yes.

757
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,080
I don't make tuna salad.

758
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,600
I don't have it in the house.

759
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,600
No way.

760
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,420
But other people make it.

761
00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:47,420
And it's a lesson that-

762
00:28:47,420 --> 00:28:48,420
Oh, fly over.

763
00:28:48,420 --> 00:28:49,420
I got to see him.

764
00:28:49,420 --> 00:28:50,420
Did you see him?

765
00:28:50,420 --> 00:28:51,420
Yeah.

766
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:52,420
Incoming.

767
00:28:52,420 --> 00:28:53,420
I have the best view.

768
00:28:53,420 --> 00:28:54,420
Sorry, guys.

769
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:55,420
I'm facing that way.

770
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:56,420
But-

771
00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:57,420
Anyone have a question?

772
00:28:57,420 --> 00:28:58,420
I have a question.

773
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:03,560
But- Anyone have a tissue?

774
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,960
Did you wet yourself?

775
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,960
I may have.

776
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,960
Wow.

777
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,960
So, shoot.

778
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,960
What was I talking about?

779
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,960
You were talking about how wonderful everyone is.

780
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,960
Oh, I know.

781
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,800
It was how wonderful everybody's been because we're surrounded by our family.

782
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,840
We also have good friends that we have let in on the news.

783
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,240
Not many, but a few we've let in on this kind of news.

784
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:32,360
And I have learned just through my life, I guess, and decades of living, that I am a

785
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,360
helper.

786
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,360
I'm just that person.

787
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,280
I want to always be serving and helping.

788
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:43,040
It irritates Bob just a little bit that I'm constantly writing him about food, calories,

789
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,040
protein, water.

790
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,480
Do you have a Gatorade?

791
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Where's your water?

792
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,060
It does irritate you, right?

793
00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:52,200
No comment until the time limit is up.

794
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,200
But anyhow-

795
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,200
No, no.

796
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,200
I have irritation.

797
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,200
No?

798
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,200
No, I'm not irritated.

799
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,200
What is it?

800
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,200
I'm full.

801
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,200
It's real.

802
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,920
I'm constantly full and you're still putting food in my mouth.

803
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:10,520
But a lesson we've learned is that we don't want to deprive our family and our friends

804
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,140
from helping.

805
00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:15,280
Because if we say, no, no, we can't think of a thing you can do, there's nothing you

806
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,520
can do, they all feel like they want to help.

807
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,160
It's a natural thing.

808
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,960
And there isn't really anything specific I can say that you can do.

809
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,680
We don't need meals delivered because believe me, we have enough food in the house.

810
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,920
But when there are things, then we need to say yes.

811
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,580
And they have all reached out and all done things for us.

812
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:40,560
Every single one of the people here has been amazing to us.

813
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,560
Yes.

814
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,560
Amazing.

815
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,560
We're surrounded by love.

816
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,560
I agree.

817
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,560
Just surrounded by it.

818
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,840
It's made it a lot easier and it's made the journey go quickly.

819
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,920
So you know if you get well, you're going to have to go back to reality.

820
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,920
You know that, right?

821
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,880
I've heard if you say when you get well.

822
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Oh yeah, when it's done.

823
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:57,880
When it's done.

824
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Nice job there, Whit.

825
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,880
Thank you.

826
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:00,880
We can edit.

827
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,880
I don't know what you have planned.

828
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,880
We can edit that in post, Bob.

829
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,880
No, it is going to change.

830
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,880
He's not going to be eating ice cream every night.

831
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,880
No, you won't be able to.

832
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,880
No.

833
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,880
I mean, he can't get too fat.

834
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,880
Come on.

835
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,880
No, I can't.

836
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,880
I can't carry the weight.

837
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,880
No.

838
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:13,880
I don't plan on it either.

839
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Yeah.

840
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,880
But he's doing amazing.

841
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:24,640
I do want anybody who's listening who might have a diagnosis who's new to this to reach

842
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:30,680
out to your family, to the ones that you trust the most and tell them and allow them to help

843
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,680
you because it makes a big difference.

844
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,480
It allows them to love on you a little bit and you don't have to go through this alone.

845
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,480
There are people out there who will help you and be with you.

846
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,480
And I would say the one thing that I would say is that you have to be with them.

847
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:53,000
The one thing if you are a family or friend and you have a loved one who has cancer, don't

848
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,240
be fragile.

849
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,240
Right.

850
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Treat them normally.

851
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,240
Regular.

852
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,240
Yeah.

853
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,240
Laugh with them.

854
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,240
Joke with them.

855
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,240
Well, and one thing in the-

856
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,240
Don't just sit there and pity them.

857
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,800
We talked about this, the fact that you've kept it very private.

858
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,800
Yeah.

859
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,800
Until now except for this.

860
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,800
No, no.

861
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,800
Well, I mean, it's not yet released, right?

862
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,800
So, but-

863
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800
No, that's what the flyover was.

864
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,440
I saw the banner.

865
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,440
Way to go, Bob.

866
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,880
You're being painted in the sky right now.

867
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,920
No, but I mean, if you just put it out there then everybody wants to help.

868
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480
It almost becomes an issue.

869
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,480
Yeah.

870
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,800
You've kept it contained.

871
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,000
You've kept it amongst friends and family and they've-

872
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,040
Everybody's honored it.

873
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Yes, totally.

874
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Yep.

875
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,520
It's amazing how they have not shared it.

876
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Zero.

877
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,040
We are not getting people that it leaked to at all.

878
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,040
No.

879
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,040
No, and I think that's also-

880
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,040
So, thank you for that.

881
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,560
One of the things that helped us go smoothly.

882
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,560
You're not having to constantly reply to everybody, how are you, how are you, how are you?

883
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,640
Well, and think about how great it's going to be to go, I went through this.

884
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,640
I'm done.

885
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,640
And I'm done.

886
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,640
Yep.

887
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,600
And we didn't want to share it with you, but now we're great.

888
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,600
Right?

889
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,600
That's a, what a great story.

890
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Yeah.

891
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,040
It is a great story and he did very well.

892
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:08,700
And he doesn't want people treating him with kid gloves or, oh, Bob, we're so sorry to

893
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:10,160
hear the news or-

894
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,160
That's what I don't care about.

895
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,160
That's just pitiful.

896
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,160
It feels awful.

897
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,160
It feels so good.

898
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,160
So.

899
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,160
Yeah.

900
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,160
So, go in with a positive attitude.

901
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Yep.

902
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,160
Stay, stick with it and-

903
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,160
Grab your team, a team of some kind.

904
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,560
As you said a minute ago, go see your doctor each year.

905
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,560
Oh my gosh.

906
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,560
Yes.

907
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,560
It has definitely saved my life.

908
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,560
No, you're 100% right.

909
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,560
Yeah.

910
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,160
And I don't know how else to say it.

911
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,400
We've all heard that message, you know, early detection, early detection, but people might

912
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,000
not know how you do that.

913
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280
And that is to get your annual physical.

914
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,480
Go every year to your doctor and let them check you out and listen to what they say.

915
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,480
True.

916
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,080
Don't be in denial because it can save your life for your loved ones.

917
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,080
So.

918
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,080
Yay.

919
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,080
Yay.

920
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,080
Yay.

921
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,080
Here we are.

922
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,080
Yay.

923
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,080
I think I'd like to hear the bells again.

924
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Good idea.

925
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Let's hear the bells.

926
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,080
Yay, Bob.

927
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,080
Because we have officially graduated.

928
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,080
Yes, you have.

929
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,080
And we move on to the next step.

930
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,080
All right.

931
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,480
That's enough of the bells.

932
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,960
And it's been actually a lot of fun.

933
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:10,960
Yeah.

934
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,080
Going through this with you guys.

935
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Thank you.

936
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,080
And sharing it with everyone.

937
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,080
We're honored.

938
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,080
You are loved.

939
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,080
We're honored.

940
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,080
Yeah, we are.

941
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,080
We are loving you.

942
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,360
So I guess stay tuned for the next episode because we don't know what it'll be.

943
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,880
It's about a month out, I'm guessing.

944
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,880
Is that what they...

945
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:27,880
It'll probably be about a month.

946
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Okay.

947
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,880
All right.

948
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,840
And then it'll probably be another month after that before the final episode.

949
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,840
Okay.

950
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,760
And we'll keep you abreast of everything that happens and everything that happened in between

951
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,680
as I try to eliminate my new partner.

952
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:42,680
Yes.

953
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,080
I hate him.

954
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,800
I'm going to kill him.

955
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,960
This is The Bob and Cancer Show.

956
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,720
You've been listening to The Bob and Cancer Show.

957
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:56,960
Tune into our next episode as we continue to follow Bob's journey.

958
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,880
