Then when I was 30, I had cervical cancer. When I was 48, I was diagnosed with viral pericarditis [an inflammation of the heart tissue]. One day I was in the gym, the next day in intensive care. When I was 50, my doctor suggested that I get a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer. So I went, and when I woke up I found out that...
