00:00 How are you? Because you look terrific. How are you doing?
00:02 Yeah, I'm OK. Taking every day as it comes.
00:05 But I think I was a bit deluded when I thought,
00:08 once I rang that chemo bell, that was going to be it.
00:11 And actually, I find it mentally tougher now,
00:13 because I was seeing the doctor every other week.
00:16 I had a, you know, a routine. Yes.
00:19 And I honestly thought that, yeah, once I've rung the bell,
00:21 I'm going to be fine. But actually, I've broken my foot.
00:23 I've had a blood clot on my lung. Oh, love.
00:26 You know, you've got to recover from chemo.
00:29 I had eight tough rounds of it. Oh, it's so hard.
00:33 And I think, you know, yourself and people around you,
00:34 well, not my friends and family, but others think,
00:36 "Well, you're fine now because you rang the bell." Yes.
00:39 No, the journey is not over. No, that's just a stage
00:42 that you go through. Yes.
