Hi, I'm Christina Applegate. And I'm Jamie Lynn Sigler. And this is messy.

0:07.0

The following message is brought to you by Novartis. Since partnering with Novartis, I have been thinking a lot about when I was first diagnosed with relapsing a mess.

0:23.5

To be honest, I was overwhelmed and in denial, and I didn't want to accept it.

0:29.0

Eventually, I had to be real with myself, reflect on what was important, reframe how my diagnosis was

1:48.5

Wow. Yeah, it's only downhill from here. Can I go now? That was great. That was fantastic. Thanks for

1:54.7

having me. And just one quick point before you fire away is that what you did, I think then to me, because like Jamie,

2:03.1

I had hit my diagnosis for a long time, and that was a mistake. I now know that in hindsight,

2:06.9

that was a mistake because I denied myself support, and I also denied other people because we
