00:01Woo, that's cold.
00:03I'm here because my husband and I are going to start trying to have a baby.
00:06Hi there.
00:11Hey, girl.
00:12Hey, mom.
00:13You drunk?
00:14Yes.
00:15You're drunk at my sobriety party.
00:16Who wants cake?
00:17Yeah, bro.
00:18Me.
00:19I just need to get a closer look here.
00:22Is something wrong?
00:25I'm okay.
00:28It's okay.
00:30Danielle, you've tested positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation.
00:36That means your lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is between 60 and 85%.
00:42Sunlight, dearest sunlight.
00:46What are you in for?
00:48Genetic counseling.
00:49You?

01:06I'm scared.
01:07I feel like my ovaries are taking time bombs.
01:10If you knew that our plane had a 50% chance of crashing, would you still get on it?
01:17Nice, deep breaths.
01:19What you women go through with your bodies.
01:27Danielle, what did you do?
01:28I'm sorry.
01:29I love you.
01:30What do you want?
01:31I just want to feel normal again.
01:33All I see is in life.
01:39They just keep taking more and more of me away.
01:41I just feel like I'm not going to be me when they stop.
01:43I want us to be in this together.
01:44All I see is in life.
01:50You can do this.
01:54So this is me now.
02:00Hey, baby girl.
02:01Have you lost some weight?
02:03Cancer.
02:04Well, that'll do it.
