I have to tell the rest of the people that what the doctors say, not all the time is right. Some doctors just tell you something because there's a procedure. They don't they don't go beyond that. And I think that was my case where they just wanted to apply a procedure, and I didn't let them apply that procedure. In my case. So it's different than everybody else other case, but in my case, by not applying the whole procedure that they wanted me to do to to have, actually, I think I saved myself. And I'm not saying that that's the right thing for everybody. I'm just saying that you can't just accept what the doctor says. As definite. And for us, actually, it was an extension of our life when I took that decision.
