man, oh, man, did annie have a lot of wigs. one time she stopped by my office sporting a particularly garish one saying, do you think it makes me look fat? that was when the yankees were an obsession and derek jeter was an even deeper obsession. a news junky but one who as the news progressed began wondering aloud if all of it wasn t just junk and all of us are tuned into that junk. i don t think annie would mind if i share this tweet. i beg the world, stop complaining, find ways to be happy. seriously, dig deep. even in my worst times, i still try, no matter how hard. leave it to a woman young enough to be my daughter to offer wisdom way, way beyond her years and maybe the suddenly sadder holiday season will jar us back to things that matter in life.
everyone complains about the silly things and this problem and this pressure, you just shake your head and say what? i wish i had your problems. because sometimes i think about it. this has only been in my life for two years, sometimes it s hard to remember what my life was like before cancer, bays sometimes it s hard to remember, what were the trivial things i complained about before cancer, can t catch a cab, this city sucks, things like that. u you remember what s important, you want to experience as much as you can. that s the big thing. but that stuff no longer matters, it s about having things, it s about spending time with your family, it s about having experience that everyone wants to do, and you want to cram in as many things as possible because you just don t know. annie, you get the last word. but just this last time, and only because you left a speechless gift.
and images all over again and see how you re doing. but in your case, that could have been very fatal. well, the problem with mine is that my test results were normal. so i wasn t shown so i went this is how aggressive the disease is. six months prior to the ultrasound in my ovaries was completely normal, my bloodwork was completely normal. so this was very, very fast-moving. even an image of my lungs in november was completely clear. but by december, it had already a 2 centimeter tumor plus nodules in both of my lungs. annie is known for her great sense of humor, just a fantastic sense of humor. and i think it s helped you, because you re a bit of a realisd see through a lot of people, no matter their persuasion, income level, politics. what s changed about you? what s changed is it s
the rest of us up. you see, annie is fighting triple negative breast cancer. it s rare and it s aggressive. and it quickly moved to annie s ovaries, followed by her lungs and then her brain. and in the middle of fighting all of this, she s doing whatever she can to raise awareness of this. she joins me now. how you doing, kiddo? i m doing okay. how you feeling? i m feeling good this week. i had a week off from chemotherapy, so it s the end of my feeling good, because i have to go back in tomorrow for treatment. now, what got you to ringing that bell? the triple negative foundation, this past monday, they have triple negative breast cancer awarns moneness month, ay put in to ring the bell, and the nyc picked us up. they do some nonprofits every week and we got picked up. so that was huge. over 100 million people will see that. and you say you want to bring awareness to triple negative breast cancer. a lot of people know breast cancer. they don t understand the
possible, because you just, you just don t know. annie, we love you. we wish the best for you. thank you. we know this disease is probably scared of you. i hope so. yeah. we ll have more after this.
