- Statistics either comfort or kill.

There are 7.5 billion people on this earth

dealing with their own problems.

Last year, 1.6 million of these people

got dealt a cancer diagnosis.

But how many, out of all those people,

would disregard a clean bill of health

only to stupidly open themselves up to relapse?

There are no hard numbers on this,

and it kills me.

[hospital intercom chatter]

- This better be good.

You're interrupting my honeymoon.

- I'm sorry.

- What's up?

- I moved my appointment with Dr. Lydell up to today.

- I can go with you if you want.

- Ashley needs you more than I do.

How is she doing?

- It's been a really rough few days.

- What are you doing out here, man?

Go on, go back in there.

- She's sleeping.

Besides...

I just wanna hang out with you right now.

- [sighs]

[door opens]

- Waiting for Dr. Lydell?

- Yeah.

- When you're done here, I was wondering

if you could help me with something.

I have this patient

who I'm--I'm trying to get through to,

and I've tried everything.

I was thinking someone who's been in his shoes

might have more luck.

You'd be doing me a major solid.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll do it.

- See, that's why you're my favorite.

- Okay. - Don't tell Mia.

Zac, relax. - Sorry.

- Yeah.

I don't know. I kind of like her.

- I think this version of you doesn't suck.

- Before...

you know, I...

I would spend hours checking myself out in the mirror.

I always really loved with my hair.

- Um, you know, Zac had me shave his head

He was terrified of going bald.

I don't have the same feelings.

And I'm getting a new trainer.

I want to talk to you too,

about something.

I found out I have low blood platelet count.

- Okay.

- What's happening?

- I'm relapsing.

- Zac.

And, uh...

I get my results in a couple days.

Will you go with me?

I'm--I'm gonna be there for you, okay?

It's gonna be okay.
