Speaker 2: So Amy Robot. You know her podcast, Amy and TJ.

29
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: It's on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. I

30
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: have to say I thought about you when Georgia played

31
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: Alabama just the other day, and I was physically ill.

32
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: She's a go Dogs, She's a uga. I was physically ill. Amy.

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: After the Dogs lost Ryan.

34
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: It was so sad because, like we've seen so many

35
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: times in these heartbreakers, we almost had them, were up,

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: we were up, and then we were coming back and

37
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 4: what do you know, It's just it's we've had those.

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: We actually were in the stands together with one of

39
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: those heartbreakers. We did SEC championship.

40
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: We saw Alabama played Georgia and Alabama beat them in Atlanta.

41
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: We were watching the game together.

42
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: But it's so strange how I was sporting event like

43
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: a team can like put.

44
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: You in a bad mood.

45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: I was in a mood.

46
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: So true, Rinky, so go Dogs. Better luck next time.

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: It is Breast cancer Awareness month October, right, and you

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: were actually you were diagnosed with breast cancer a while back.

49
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: Tell us about your story, Amy.

50
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: It was exactly eleven years ago that I agreed to

51
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 4: do a on air live mammogram in a Mamma Van

52
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: in the middle of Times.

53
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: Square for Coming America.

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: And so that is the only reason why I was

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: getting a mammogram that day, And I thought I was Yeah.

56
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: I thought I was.

57
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: Doing it for other women, in service to others. I

58
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: had no idea that I would actually a few weeks

59
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: later getting breast cancer diagnosis. So that mammogram led to

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: my ultimate stage two invasive breast cancer diagnosis. I had

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: two malignant tumors, it had already spread to my lypt nodes. Wow,

62
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: And I thought I was healthy. I had no family history.

63
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 4: I literally thought it couldn't happen to me.

64
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: And there you were going through it. How did it

65
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: change your life.

66
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: In every single way possible? You know, I think being

67
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: a journalist, you are exposed to the worst the world

68
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: can offer. And do you think you're prepared for how

69
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: tragic or how quickly life can escape? And you are

70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: telling other people's stories, But until it happens to you,

71
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 4: you don't really really have that light bulb go off.

72
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: And so once I got through it took me about

73
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: two years to lift myself up physically, mentally, emotionally. I

74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: was just in a state of fear, like a constant

75
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: state of fear, and ultimately I had to decide, you know,

76
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 4: is this gonna cripple me? Or is this going to

77
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: motivate me? And I just decided to live differently, to

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: live better, to live in a way that literally, I

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: joke and say, like a country music song, I was

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: living like I was dying, because we're all dying.

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: We're all one day closer to death.

82
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: I mean not to be macab but it's true. And

83
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: if you are a cancer patient, or a cancer survivor

84
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: or a thriver, you are intimately aware of that fact.

85
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Was it difficult for you to go publicly with this?

86
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: You are you happy you did that? Or would you

87
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: have wanted to do it in private?

88
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Oh?

89
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: You know what?

90
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: For me, I knew I did that mammogram to try

91
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: and raise awareness and hopefully save a woman's life by

92
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 4: early detection. And I knew that when I came back

93
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: once I got this diagnosis and I went into hiding

94
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 4: for about a week, I could imagine deciding what I

95
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: wanted to do.

96
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: I was just shocked and horrified and scared.

97
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: But then I thought, I know, if I go back

98
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: on the air and tell everyone that that mammogram, that

99
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: they saw just led to a cancer diagnosis that so

100
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: many other women would be racing running to their doctor's offices.

101
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: And I have heard from those women. I mean, that's

102
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: been the greatest gift out of all of this, is

103
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: to hear someone or have someone write to you and

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: tell you because I saw your story, I went and

105
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 4: I had my mammogram and I found my cancer early.

106
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: So thank you, and that to me was worth everything.

107
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 4: I'll also say for me, I know it's hard to

108
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: ask for help, and sometimes I know it's hard to

109
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: be vulnerable and to let people in on something that's

110
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: scary and makes you feel weak or less. Then, but

111
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: when you let people help you, it's unbelieve what happens

112
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: when you allow yourself to receive love. And that's what

113
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: happened by me going public. I got to receive so

114
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: much love and so much support that I wouldn't have

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: had otherwise. And so I just everyone has their own

116
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: story and their own pace and how and when they

117
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: want to share it. But I would just I always

118
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: urge people, if you talk about it, you won't believe

119
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 4: the love you will receive in return.

120
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: Wow, Amy Robock with us here, and you know I

121
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: listened to that, and I think about my parents and

122
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: my family members who have been diagnosed with cancer. Some

123
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: of it they wouldn't have known about if they weren't

124
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: getting a test or a check. So whatever it is,

125
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: don't wait. You know, whatever it is you think you

126
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: need a test or check, don't wait because early is

127
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: so important and it is Breast cancer Awareness Month all

128
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 2: month long. So Amy, are you still running eighteen miles

129
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: a day? Is that your routine? Though?

130
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness, I did do a twenty mile or

131
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: last week. Wow, But I know right, I had that

132
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: red my sleep, but only because I'm actually running the

133
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 4: Chicago Marathon in a couple of weeks.

134
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: Of course, she is only is part of that.

135
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: That's impressive, and she's bring an iron man. I mean,

136
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: you live for this stuff. You love it, you love

137
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: the torture.

138
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: You know what.

139
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: I didn't do any of this stuff before breast cancer.

140
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: I was a ten care I did a two miler.

141
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: And now once I got I recovered, I wanted to

142
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: trust my body again, and I wanted to push my

143
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: body further than I thought it could than I could,

144
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: And so that is the reason why I started my

145
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: I had my first Marathon when I was forty five.
