Speaker 1 (00:47):
You do.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't really love it, but I have a niece
and she loves it, and I love it for her.
So it's the first time I'm taking a child trigger
treating in my life.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
So oh it's so fun.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah. They want me to take red wine with me.
They said it makes it more fair.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
You need oh yeah, and so you can drag it
along in the wagon with you.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
So Amy Robot. You know her podcast, Amy and TJ.
It's on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. I
have to say I thought about you when Georgia played
Alabama just the other day, and I was physically ill.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
She's a go Dogs, She's a uga. I was physically ill. Amy.
After the Dogs lost Ryan.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
It was so sad because, like we've seen so many
times in these heartbreakers, we almost had them, were up,
we were up, and then we were coming back and
what do you know, It's just it's we've had those.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
We actually were in the stands together with one of
those heartbreakers. We did SEC championship.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
We saw Alabama played Georgia and Alabama beat them in Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
We were watching the game together.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
But it's so strange how I was sporting event like
a team can like put.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
You in a bad mood.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I was in a mood.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So true, Rinky, so go Dogs. Better luck next time.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It is Breast cancer Awareness month October, right, and you
were actually you were diagnosed with breast cancer a while back.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Tell us about your story, Amy.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
It was exactly eleven years ago that I agreed to
do a on air live mammogram in a Mamma Van
in the middle of Times.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Square for Coming America.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
And so that is the only reason why I was
getting a mammogram that day, And I thought I was Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I thought I was.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Doing it for other women, in service to others. I
had no idea that I would actually a few weeks
later getting breast cancer diagnosis. So that mammogram led to
my ultimate stage two invasive breast cancer diagnosis. I had
two malignant tumors, it had already spread to my lypt nodes. Wow,

(02:46):
And I thought I was healthy. I had no family history.
I literally thought it couldn't happen to me.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
And there you were going through it. How did it
change your life.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
In every single way possible? You know, I think being
a journalist, you are exposed to the worst the world
can offer. And do you think you're prepared for how
tragic or how quickly life can escape? And you are
telling other people's stories, But until it happens to you,
you don't really really have that light bulb go off.
And so once I got through it took me about

(03:18):
two years to lift myself up physically, mentally, emotionally. I
was just in a state of fear, like a constant
state of fear, and ultimately I had to decide, you know,
is this gonna cripple me? Or is this going to
motivate me? And I just decided to live differently, to
live better, to live in a way that literally, I
joke and say, like a country music song, I was

(03:39):
living like I was dying, because we're all dying.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
We're all one day closer to death.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I mean not to be macab but it's true. And
if you are a cancer patient, or a cancer survivor
or a thriver, you are intimately aware of that fact.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Was it difficult for you to go publicly with this?
You are you happy you did that? Or would you
have wanted to do it in private?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
For me, I knew I did that mammogram to try
and raise awareness and hopefully save a woman's life by
early detection. And I knew that when I came back
once I got this diagnosis and I went into hiding
for about a week, I could imagine deciding what I
wanted to do.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I was just shocked and horrified and scared.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
But then I thought, I know, if I go back
on the air and tell everyone that that mammogram, that
they saw just led to a cancer diagnosis that so
many other women would be racing running to their doctor's offices.
And I have heard from those women. I mean, that's
been the greatest gift out of all of this, is
to hear someone or have someone write to you and
tell you because I saw your story, I went and

(04:39):
I had my mammogram and I found my cancer early.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
So thank you, and that to me was worth everything.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
I'll also say for me, I know it's hard to
ask for help, and sometimes I know it's hard to
be vulnerable and to let people in on something that's
scary and makes you feel weak or less. Then, but
when you let people help you, it's unbelieve what happens
when you allow yourself to receive love. And that's what
happened by me going public. I got to receive so

(05:06):
much love and so much support that I wouldn't have
had otherwise. And so I just everyone has their own
story and their own pace and how and when they
want to share it. But I would just I always
urge people, if you talk about it, you won't believe
the love you will receive in return.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Wow, Amy Robock with us here, and you know I
listened to that, and I think about my parents and
my family members who have been diagnosed with cancer. Some
of it they wouldn't have known about if they weren't
getting a test or a check. So whatever it is,
don't wait. You know, whatever it is you think you
need a test or check, don't wait because early is

(05:42):
so important and it is Breast cancer Awareness Month all
month long. So Amy, are you still running eighteen miles
a day? Is that your routine? Though?

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Oh, my goodness, I did do a twenty mile or
last week. Wow, But I know right, I had that
red my sleep, but only because I'm actually running the
Chicago Marathon in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Of course, she is only is part of that.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's impressive, and she's bring an iron man. I mean,
you live for this stuff. You love it, you love
the torture.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
I didn't do any of this stuff before breast cancer.
I was a ten care I did a two miler.
And now once I got I recovered, I wanted to
trust my body again, and I wanted to push my
body further than I thought it could than I could,
And so that is the reason why I started my
I had my first Marathon when I was forty five.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well b Well, Amy Roebock and TJ. There podcast is
on iHeart or wherever you get your podcast. Good to
see you take your care to see.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Thank you go dog AMYG. Yeah, test right, no matter
what it is, get that check.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
She just changed my perspective. I mean, that is that's wild.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
