1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning show. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. We were talking about it through 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: text the other day. Whant to just bring it up 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: and put it out there for everyone to hear. 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is something that has just kind of 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 3: changed how I live, and I didn't see it coming. 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 3: So I know there are a lot of people out 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 3: there who could also benefit from checking this out. So 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 3: I went to my doctor. I went to my gynecologist 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 3: and she asked me if I've ever had a hereditary 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: blood test. I'm like, no, I don't know what that is. 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: She goes, your mother's had breast cancer, and I said, yes, 13 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 3: but the overwhelming majority of cases aren't hereditary. About ninety 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 3: percent of cases are not hereditary. And my mom got 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: the test to see if she has the gene, which 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: is a huge tell you do not want that gene, 17 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 3: and she doesn't have it. So I've been living my 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 3: life thinking, oh, I'm one of the lucky ones. My 19 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: mom doesn't have the gene. I don't have the gene. 20 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 3: And my doctor said, that is true, but that doesn't 21 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: really account for the ninety percent of people who do 22 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 3: end up with breast cancer. There's a lot of things 23 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 3: that go in it where we could just kind of 24 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: guess probability and let's do that test. So it was 25 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: a blood test and a questionnaire and I'm like, okay, great, 26 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: let's do it. And I came back as high risk, 27 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: which is really interesting because again, my whole life, I've 28 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 3: been living under the guise of I'm really lucky my 29 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: mom doesn't have the gene, which is still true, but 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 3: now I have to do things kind of differently. 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 4: I had to. 32 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: I mean, if I ate meat, I'm a pescatarian. I 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: don't eat meat, but she said, you might want to 34 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: cut out processed meats. I've been really cutting down on alcohol. 35 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: That's a huge additive. But now every six months for 36 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: the rest of my life, I have to alternate between 37 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: getting a mammogram and an ultrasound, and ultrasounds wouldn't be covered. 38 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: If I didn't know that I was high risk. Wow, 39 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: something really expensive and really important for me for the 40 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: rest of my life, and I wouldn't have known. So 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: I just wanted to incur I text my two sisters, 42 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, guys, guess what You're going to go 43 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: get this test for yourselves. So yeah, it's hereditary blood 44 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: test that's not a brand. Several different companies do it, 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: and maybe consider talking to your gynecologist about it to 46 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: see if you should figure out your likelihood of getting 47 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: breast cancer in your life. 48 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 4: Yep, there you ah. 49 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: And there are some people and Daniel talks about this 50 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: all the time that some people who just don't want 51 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: to know that's it because they think if they know, 52 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: then that's when the trouble begins. Well, no, you need 53 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: to know before the trouble begins or as it's beginning. 54 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 5: You know. 55 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 6: I actually found out I was high risk from my 56 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 6: breast reduction surgery. Wow, because whatever they take out of 57 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 6: you they need to send away to get tested and 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 6: it came back with some kind of something and it 59 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 6: said you just need to be monitored. So just like you, 60 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 6: I go to a breast expert every six months and 61 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 6: I get my mammograms and I get an ultrasound when 62 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 6: I get my mammogram, just to be sure because I'm 63 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 6: the higher risk factor as well. 64 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 7: Wow. 65 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: Which it's wild because breast cancer is I mean, no 66 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 3: cancer is super fun, but it's one of the ones 67 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: with early detection is more treatable. So it's a no. 68 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: I I don't want if I had the decision, but 69 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: I do want to know how I can prevent and 70 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: how I can care for myself, because again, early detection 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: is totally key when it comes to this. So I 72 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: think everyone should go out there and figure it out 73 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: for themselves. 74 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: It's so strange to me how people are afraid to 75 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: go to the doctor. I mean, the doctor's there to 76 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 2: help you, especially if they're a great doctor. 77 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 4: You trust them. 78 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: I mean I sometimes get a little giddy knowing I 79 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: have an appointment. I can go see my doctor. I 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: love her. She's awesome. She's awesome. If you have an 81 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: opportunity to sort of in a way look into a 82 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: crystal ball about your future, why would you not want 83 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: to do that? Right Gandhi, Oh my god. 84 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I learned so much over the summer with everything 85 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: that was going on, and now when I do go 86 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: to the doctor, that feeling after when they give you, 87 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: like the hey, all clear, it's such a breath of 88 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: a fresh breath, you know, and it's a good start. 89 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: And even if there is something, to Sam's point, it's 90 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: good to catch it early. Yep, you can do something 91 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: of when you catch it early. When you avoid, it's 92 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: so much harder to deal with it when you catch 93 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: it late. 94 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 6: So many people think if they avoid it it goes away. 95 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 6: That's not the case. And if you and or oh, 96 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 6: if I don't go get it checked, it's not really there. 97 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 6: It's not going to happen, and that's not the case. 98 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 6: You want to go get it checked so that if 99 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 6: it's the early stage, that's when you can do something 100 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 6: about it. 101 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 4: Right. 102 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: No, things do not disappear because you avoid them. I mean, 103 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: Nate's still here. There's Nate. 104 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: They because I had the stroke in twenty the first 105 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 4: stroke in twenty eighteen, and then I had the heart 106 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 4: surgery right after that. Well, when I met with the 107 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 4: heart surgeon, he goes, you know what, I don't want 108 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 4: to make you feel bad, but had you come to 109 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: me ten years ago, I would have operated on you 110 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 4: and fixed the problem so that you would have never 111 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 4: even had the stroke. So sometimes it's not even just 112 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: going to see the doctor. It's going to see the 113 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 4: ripe doctor. You know what I mean? 114 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 6: There you go and can I say one other thing? 115 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 6: You know your body, So if you think something is 116 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 6: not right, you need to push the issue because so 117 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 6: many times a doctor, will I say no, it's not that, 118 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 6: or no it's not this. But deep down inside you 119 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 6: know something is off. You have every right to push 120 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 6: the issue, to get the testing done that you feel. 121 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 5: That's the thing. 122 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: We live in a culture where we're afraid of offending 123 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: those who are educating. 124 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 7: If you remember, back in twenty ten, I had a 125 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 7: brain tumor and I went to a doctor and I 126 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 7: told her I thought I had it, and she said 127 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 7: to me, that's not what you have. And I said, well, 128 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 7: how do you know? She said, I've been practicing for 129 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 7: twenty years.
