Lily Page #3

It's so cool.

Hey, did you happen to ask them

if they're hiring?

I did,

and there's still nothing,

but as soon as

something comes up,

you're the first person

I'm gonna let know.

Okay, Lily, it looks like you

are positive for the BRCA2 gene.

So, we generally recommend

a prophylactic mastectomy.

Okay, that's not really an

option.

It's totally understandable.

It won't prevent

the other cancers

from developing.

But what it does mean is that

we need to increase surveillance

of the development of breast

cancer. And the other cancers.

So that you need to do a monthly

self-examination, okay?

You need to visit

your doctor every six months,

for them to examine you

to look for

any lumps or abnormal tissue.

You'll need an annual mammogram.

And you'll probably need

a pelvic ultrasound

to screen for ovarian cancer.

- Okay.

- Okay?

The BRCA2 status

does not mean that

you are destined

to develop cancers.

It does increase your risk of

developing a second cancer

quite significantly.

So what we do recommend,

we want to make sure that

all at risk family members

are aware of their status or

the possibility of their status.

So we know that your mother,

when she was diagnosed

with breast cancer,

she got the BRCA testing

and she was negative?

Right.

So this means that you inherited

the gene from your father.

Okay? So we do recommend

that you inform him

and other family members

of the possibility that

they may be BRCA positive.

And especially him because we

know that he is positive.

I don't know...

My dad and I don't really

talk all that much.

Okay, it's totally

understandable.

We do offer a generic letter

notifying family members

of the possibility

of their BRCA status.

The reason why we recommend

it strongly in this case

is that the risk in men

is also significant

for developing

male breast cancer.

Earlier onset prostate cancer,

and pancreatic cancer.

And male breast cancer

often goes undiagnosed

I've been listening to that tape

you gave me all the time.

Yeah? You like it?

Yeah, I love it, it's awesome.

- It's cool, right?

- Yeah.

I feel like it's great.

Yeah, I've been spending

a lot of time at home

labeling all my old tapes

and trying to figure out

which ones are my favorites.

I don't know, I'd like

to do something with them.

I think they're cool.

Well, guess who I ran into

the other day?

Who?

Patrick.

He asked about you.

He did?

Does he know...?

Yeah, he does.

I think that

you should go see him.

Yeah,

but I kind of screwed him over.

Yeah, you did!

You're not the first artist

ever to f*** up, I don't think.

- I'm not?

- Chances are!

Other people f*** up besides me?
