But it kind of affected me a little bit while we were doing the recording, but I think it went pretty well. Well, anyway, it didn't affect that at all - except that, obviously, then when I went into chemo in the summer while we were doing the recording bit by bit, it did affect, obviously - it affects everything it goes everywhere, and it's nasty stuff, but it's supposed to take care of the cancer, so I've always taken it as a thing - you're supposed to feel like something.
