And one afternoon, I got a call from my doctor.

My mother used to say a woman's feet swell up if she sleeps in high heels.

What is it? A tumor?

Tumors?

That boil on your face.

Do not interfere.

GBM affects about 10,000 people in the U.S. each year.

Check out those boils on his neck.

Put their hands behind their back. And their fucking wrists would blow up like balloons.

And my doctor, on a whim, sent me to get a full body bone scan, which showed that there was some growth in my left leg.

We r emoved a tumor fr om her brain.

The cancer.

And now, boom, the tumor labels itself and it gets fluorescent.

But even before I peel that muscle away, you saw that there was a tumor underneath.

That's impressive.

Nothing serious. I guess it's just a sore throat.

When I eat chocolate, my face blows up.

You know what that means? It means you don't steal my girl unless you're ready to accept the consequences.

You look puffy.

Ewing's sarcoma. first identified in the 1920s

Women suffer from that disease.

Parasagittal astrocytoma.

(Laughter)

Three puffy red lines, about a quarter of an inch apart.

Two weeks after my diagnosis, a biopsy confirmed

Her face was bruised. She had a black eye.

And five years ago,

We didn't sequence his genome.

Cerebral hematoma.

Muscle aches and pains, gums get sore and bleed.

However, in the presence of the tumor, now there are molecular scissors that can break this molecule apart right there at the cleavable site.

So on. So this example...

What is it?

Evidence of an extradural hematoma.

Whoa. Big hematoma.

But this technology could not find tumors when they're small, and finding a small tumor is critical for survival.

But what we can see is, by month six, the tumor has responded and it's begun to melt away.

She was diagnosed with a grapefruit sized fibroid.

He treated it with utmost care.

Okay you're done.

or a recently diagnosed tumor.

The cancer is growing as this red, huge mass in the hind limb of this animal.

This disease appears first as tumors, usually on the face or inside the mouth of affected Tasmanian devils.

We inject them into the mouse, the ones on the right, and none of them would make tumors.

The important thing is that, uh, the skin wasn't broken.
