00:00:15OFF CAMERA Miss. Fulworth, I understand from Dr. Singh that you don’t believe the x-ray, the biopsy reports, the. 

00:00:20MISS FULWORTH I have stomach cancer, Dr. Gray. Dr. Singh just didn’t look thoroughly enough. 

00:00:25OFF CAMERA Well, your blood counts are normal. In fact all of your labs are normal. Your weight is constant. All tests show you are healthy. 

00:00:35MISS FULWORTH When I roll on my side in bed at night I feel this lump in my belly slide to the other side. 

00:00:40OFF CAMERA Physical exam, x-rays show no mass, no lump. Urine studies, bowel studies fine. 

00:00:50MISS FULWORTH I... It’s there and it is cancer. I hear these gurgling sounds, like little springs making “boing” noises. 

00:01:00OFF CAMERA Normal stomach, normal bowel sounds. 

00:01:00MISS FULWORTH Not normal. It’s a lump of cancer stretching and tightening. Like a spring. I feel it. I only have weeks to live. 

00:01:10OFF CAMERA Has anyone in your family had diseases or illness similar to what you describe? 

00:01:15MISS FULWORTH My grandmother died of a brain tumor that her doctor missed. Doctor's don’t know everything. 

00:01:25OFF CAMERA True, true. I understand with your grandmother’s death why you want to be extra cautious and that is very wise. But you have been thoroughly examined, had all the tests. 

00:01:35MISS FULWORTH It's still being missed, Dr. Gray. I need guidance making out my will. I don’t have much time left. 

00:01:45OFF CAMERA Do you have other illnesses? 

00:01:50MISS FULWORTH Just my stomach cancer. 

00:01:55OFF CAMERA Dr. Singh said that one year ago, you thought you had cancer inside your ear canal. 

00:02:00MISS FULWORTH I did? I barely remember that. I get... I think that was just an ear ache. 

00:02:05OFF CAMERA You didn’t die from that. 

00:02:10MISS FULWORTH That wasn’t serious, Dr. Gray. This is. 

00:02:15OFF CAMERA At that time, Dr. Singh said you thought it was. 

00:02:15MISS FULWORTH Yeah, I did think it was, but this is more serious. This is really serious. 

00:02:25OFF CAMERA And two years ago you thought you that you had cancer in your pelvis 

00:02:25MISS FULWORTH I just need somebody to believe me. To help me. 

00:02:30OFF CAMERA Help you in what way? 

00:02:35MISS FULWORTH Surgery, radiation, chemo, however you help... medications. Immediately. 

00:02:40OFF CAMERA Is your family worried? 

00:02:45MISS FULWORTH No one's worried. And that’s the way I’m going to my grave. Alone with no one caring. 

00:02:55OFF CAMERA That must feel terrible with no one believing, caring about you. 

00:03:00MISS FULWORTH You have no idea. Not one person on this entire planet understands. 

00:03:05OFF CAMERA How...how would you feel about attending a group which has patients, people who feel like you do, who feel that nobody believes them, feels that there all alone and dying with no one caring. You could support one other? 

00:03:20MISS FULWORTH I’ll be dead before the group gets going. 

00:03:25OFF CAMERA Well, if you are alive and well, would you please give it a try? 

00:03:25MISS FULWORTH I won’t be alive Dr. Gray. Trust me.
