00:02I have a great big thank you.
00:05Uh-oh.
00:08I'm not crying.
00:09You're crying.
00:11Can't say that.
00:14It is inaccurate.
00:16I already have my tissue out.
00:19One of my favorite things about Andy Summers,
00:21I'm going to decide,
00:21is she thinks that physics won't apply to tears.
00:24If she picks her head and looks at the sky,
00:26they will drip back into her eyeballs
00:29and into her body,
00:30and they will not stream down her face.
00:32It doesn't happen.
00:33It doesn't happen.
00:33Because the moment I put my head back down,
00:35it's like, what?
00:37Yeah.
00:37Amazing.
00:38I have a great big thank you.
00:40So we were at the Hardy concert over the weekend.
00:42Right.
00:43And I saw so many people
00:45who had so many good wishes for me.
00:47And I am overwhelmed by your love
00:52and your prayers and your support.
00:55Because several weeks ago,
00:57I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
00:58We've been talking about it a lot
01:00because I go in for surgery next week.
01:02Yeah.
01:03And it's really starting to hit me,
01:08kind of the reality of this and what it means.
01:11And I feel like,
01:12I was just telling my daughter last night,
01:14I've been thinking so much about the end product, right?
01:17Like I'm just ridding myself of cancer,
01:19having it literally cut out of me,
01:22rebuilding and moving forward.
01:24And I'm so excited for that.
01:25I really am so excited for that.
01:29I know it sounds weird,
01:31but I am.
01:33Like I'm especially knowing that it's in me.
01:35I can't wait to get it out, right?
01:36Right, right.
01:36But then, you know,
01:40I'm thinking about the recovery
01:41and I'm thinking about what it's going to be like
01:43when I come home from the hospital.
01:44And I am,
01:47I'm terrified.
01:51And I know that I'm in really good hands
01:53and all the things, right?
01:55Like,
01:55but I just want to say thank you.
01:58Like,
01:59from my soul,
02:00I'm so grateful to the people
02:02that I saw at the show
02:04who went out of their way
02:06to just give me a hug
02:08or a wink
02:09or a pat on the back
02:11and say,
02:12I'm here for you.
02:13Like,
02:13we've got you.
02:14We've,
02:14we've got you.
02:15Like,
02:16that means so much to me.
02:17And then yesterday,
02:18I was at nine o'clock mass
02:20and I got there late.
02:21But of course,
02:22I sit in the front
02:22because I'm the dorky Catholic.
02:24And I'm,
02:25and apparently sat next
02:26to another dorky Catholic.
02:27Sorry if you're listening.
02:28And she wasn't,
02:29though.
02:29She was so lovely.
02:30And it's just the two of us
02:31in the pew
02:32and we're in there
02:33and I'm getting through mass
02:34and I had my tissues with me,
02:36but I did really well.
02:37And at the end,
02:39you know,
02:39the priest is processing out
02:41and she just leans over.
02:43This woman who I don't think
02:44that I've met her before.
02:45I just know her from church.
02:46She just leans over
02:47and puts her arm around me
02:48and she was like,
02:49hey,
02:49we've got you.
02:50And I was like,
02:52thank you.
02:52She's like,
02:53I listen every morning
02:53and we've got you.
02:55I was like,
02:55that means so much.
02:56Walking out of church
02:57and a woman dropped something.
02:59I was like,
02:59oh,
03:00look,
03:00you dropped this.
03:00And she was like,
03:01Andy,
03:02I'm Donna.
03:03We've got you.
03:04And I was like,
03:05I can't tell you.
03:07How much that means to me.
03:09It makes me think
03:10I don't need
03:11to even think about this
03:13because I keep saying
03:14I'm riding this wave of prayers
03:16because it's exactly how I feel.
03:19I am nervous
03:24because it's a lot to go through.
03:27It's a lot.
03:28It's a big surgery.
03:29Much bigger than you had anticipated.
03:32And you've learned
03:32from talking to people
03:33and friends
03:35and family
03:35and people
03:36that this is going to be
03:37more of an undertaking
03:38than you had expected.
03:39It really is.
03:40Because you were always thinking
03:40of that end goal,
03:41as you said.
03:42And I'm like,
03:42nah,
03:43I'm fine.
03:44I'm invincible.
03:45It's kind of like
03:45when you're a kid
03:46and you're just like,
03:47nothing can hurt me
03:48until it does.
03:49Right?
03:50And now I'm like,
03:50oh,
03:50crap,
03:51this is really happening.
03:53So I just want you to know,
03:55like,
03:56I try to keep it together
03:57when people are talking
03:58to me about it
03:59and I try to let you know,
04:00but it's like,
04:02I'm so comforted
04:03by all the people
04:05and all the good vibes
04:07and all the things.
04:08I love it when,
04:09like,
04:09a big drunk guy
04:10comes up to me
04:11at a concert
04:11and says,
04:12hey,
04:13my whole family's
04:14praying for you.
04:15Like,
04:15that,
04:16he's showing me
04:16such vulnerability
04:17at a time
04:18when he's looking
04:19so,
04:19like,
04:20big and much.
04:20That means the world to me.
