In truth, it is like this:
:29:08
You cannot imagine...
:29:10
how time can be so still.
:29:15
It hangs.
:29:18
It weighs.
:29:21
And yet there is so little of it.
:29:24
It goes so slowly.
:29:27
And yet it is so scarce.
:29:32
If I were writing this scene
it would last a full 15 minutes.

:29:36
I would lie here and you would sit there.
:29:44
Not to worry:
:29:47
"Brevity is the soul of wit."
:29:52
But...
:29:53
if you think eight months of cancer
treatment is tedious for all of you...

:29:58
consider how it feels to play my part.
:30:05
All right.
:30:07
Let's say it's Friday morning.
:30:10
"Grand rounds" is what they call it.
:30:14
Action!
:30:18
- Dr. Bearing.
- Dr. Kelekian.

:30:21
How are you feeling today?
:30:23
- Fine.
- Great, just great.

:30:35
Today is cycle four, day three.
:30:37
All cycles are at the full dose.
:30:39
Primary site is here, behind the left ovary.
:30:42
Metastases are suspected
in the peritoneal cavity...

:30:45
mainly in this area here.
:30:46
Full lymphatic involvement.
At the time of first-look surgery...

:30:49
a large part of the tumor was de-bulked...
:30:51
mainly in this area here.
Left and right ovaries...

:30:54
fallopian tubes, uterus, all out.
:30:57
Evidence of primary-site shrinkage.
:30:59
Shrinking in metastases
has not been documented.
