00:00My friend James Van Der Beek died on February 11th and that night I went
00:10to dinner with some friends and was sort of processing. He's my second friend in
00:18just a few years that has died far too young from cancer. The other being my best friend Kate who
00:25passed away three years ago from a very aggressive form of cancer. While I was at dinner my phone rang
00:33and it was my agent they were calling because they're like the kings want to meet you for this
00:37tv show. I just felt like it was a gift from James. I needed a job my daughter wants to
00:42stay in New York
00:43for school but it's hard to live in New York if you don't have a job here and I was
00:48like great I want
00:49to go in on Friday and they're like they can give you till next week and I was like no
00:52no no it has
00:53to be Friday. Okay the next morning I wake up I'm like oh I have this scan I fully forgot
01:02about it.
01:02My ex-husband Mark who I'm very close with called to check in to see how I was doing with
01:07James's
01:08passing away and I was like I'm okay I now I caught this big audition for tomorrow and I've scheduled
01:16this scan should I just cancel it? He's like maybe it's the best thing you could do for your friend
01:23this morning. He's like go get that scan and I was like you're right you're so smart you're right.
01:30So I went and got the scan and on Friday I went in for the kings for Cupertino and then
01:38Friday
01:38afternoon Justin texted me and he was like we need to get on the phone I have your pre-nuvo
01:43results and
01:44then that's when he was like they see this lesion on your brain and I was like okay but surely
01:50this isn't this is gonna be fine right and you know he was just very calming because I was like
01:59just tell me it's not glioblastoma like that's just tell me it's not that he's like glioblastoma presents
02:07in a very specific way it looks kind of like butterflies the tumors like sort of expand out he's
02:13like this is like a perfect circle we don't know if it's actually even inside your brain from this
02:19particular type of scan that's why we need to get the MRI. I got the MRI while I was in
02:23the machine
02:24I was thinking to myself like who do I even who what do I do now?
02:29I got the MRI while I was waiting for the MRI now.
02:29So...
