>> i've gone to doctors and seen that they're just looking at roseanne roseannadanna or emily litella and not really seeing that here is a person who is sick, who has complaints. on monday october 20th the phone rang. it was my internist. he checked me into the hospital immediately for tests. he said very calmly, we've discovered there is a malignancy. i had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. >> after she was diagnosed, she responded like i think a lot of people respond and was absolutely convinced that this was the end of her life, and she didn't take calls from me, and she didn't take calls from judy. it was a pretty tough, difficult time.
