i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital aer a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? d what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only doeoes eliquitreat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment.t. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily...

seek iediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

firs fully reusable rocket. and we just flew it into space and brought it back and landed it at the launch site. this is a big game-changer, because it totally changes the economics of space travel. when you throw a rocket away, an expendable rocket, you use it once and throw away all that expensive space hardware. it would be like taking -- getting in your 747, flying across the cocountry, a then throwing it away. just using it one time. imagine how expensive traveling would be. >> i would never do that with my 747. >> yeah,h, yeah, y know, i usuay keep my 747 for as long as i can keep it. but so your website -- >> you definitely want to reuse those. >> and your website actually teased some information about a window seat and space travel. is that something that you could possiblyly be planng? >> yes, so we're -- right now we're you know, we just flew this vehicle successfully. we're going to -- this is the beginning of a long and very

deliberate test program where we're going to fly the vehicle, many, many times. and then when we're completely confiden in it, we're going the start using it to take people up into space. that should take another couple of yrs. >> wow. now, do you want to go to space one day? it's one thing to launch the rocket successfully, have it land, is space travel something that you're interested in? >> absolutely. you knowt. absolutely. i've wanted to do that since i was a 5-year-old boy. it's a passion. it's deep in my heart. >> and what else? is there anything else about this launch that really may -- >> by the way, you guys are invited if you want to come. >> whoa. > oh! >> we'll go up. >> how many takers on that offer? >> i'll do it. >>ou going to go. >> yes, i'll go. sfw some of us only fly first class. i'm a coach guy myself. >> i get window seat. why wouldn't you -- i -- at first, i was thinking no. but you're right, jeff.

welcome back. we have atory that really surprised us. a third grader diagnosed with breast cancer. year-old chrissy turner has a ve re form of the disease and abc's dr. jennifer ashton has her story. >> reporter:he's an enthusiastic artist and a loving little sister. >> hi, brianna. >> reporter: now 8-year-old chrissy turner is fighting a devastating disease normally only faced by adults. >> i was kind of scared to kind of figure out what it was. >> repter: in october chrissy came to her parents with a lump in her chest after a series of tests, doctors diagnosed a rare form of breast cancer called secretory carcinoma. the findings, a huge blow to the whole family. >> i was in shock. no child should ever have to go through cancer, and then it hits your family. it hits your little one. i'm sorry. it's devastating. >> it's s been reay hard emotionally. mentally everyone has been

>> reporter: secretory carcinoma accounts f f less than 0.15% of breast cancers and is the rarest foform of thdisease. dr. brian bucher is part of the team treating chrissy. >> it is very treatable. chrissy had to undergo a simple mastectomy to remove all of the remaining breast tissue to prevent this cancer from coming back. >> reporter: the turner family is no stranger to cancer. mom is a cervical cancer survivor and dad was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma in 2008. >> it's a fear that you always have. >> reporter: chrissy's cancer is a shock. >> we're going to fight it as a family. we're going to be there for you no matter what. >> reporter: and yet chrissy still remains positive. >> i hope that i fight it off. >> and dr. ashton joins us now. chrissy is clearly a fighter. thank goodness this is treatable. >> yeah, and it's incredibly rare, george. that's the take me message. there are isolated reports in the literature. youngest patient w with this

type of cancer, just 3 yrs old, the oldest, 87. generally the prognosis is good. >> so we can't emphasize it enough, it's's very ra but it's going to frighten a lot of parents. what should they be paying attention to? >> when you talk about breast development in a young girl, there are a couple of things the parents should know about. number one, any dramatic changes in the breast or breast development before the age of 8. the key thing is change in one breaeast versuthe other. that would be a concerning sign but, remember, there are other things that affect the breast that aren't cancer, trauma, infection, benign cysts. after a physical exam with the child's pediatrirician, the next ep is breast ultrasound and then generally a referral to a breast specialist but those are the overall warnin. >> those are the overall warning signs but, again, very, very rare. >> it's incredibly rare. and we send her our best. >> jen ashton, thanks very mh. let's go over to michael >> all rit, thanks, george. part one of the epic "dancing with the stars" two-night finale kicked off with a big bang last night. last night the remaining four couples put it all on the line hoping to takeome that mirrorball, but only three remain.

shut up and dance with me >> here we go, one, two, one, two, three. >> reporter: the final four, showing off their fantastic freestyles monday night. >> reporter: but it was bindi versus the backstreet boy. hey >> reporter: tied at the top of the leaderboard that had eveveryone tking. larger than life >> reporter: nick carter's "larger ththan life"reestyle. >> the most incredible freaking awesome backstreet boy. >> reporter: and bindi with a show-stopping quick step. >> you, my dear, are the energizer bunny. >> reporter: her freestyle dance bringing the audience to tears with an emotional tribute to her dad. >> you touched everybody's soul. >> this entire experience has changed my life, so thank you, thank you so much. >> reporter: our cameras behind the scenes exclusily ahead of tonight's big finale. >> we're going to fight. for me, you know, it's always been abouty partners. >> reporter: in the end, the

ballroom journey coming to a close for carlos penavega. now the stakes higher than ever. will the mirrorball go to alek, bindi or nick? largethan life now, we asked our audience onne, which "dancing with thehe stars" celebrity do uyou want to win the mirrorball trophy? here's what you had to say. 70% are rooting for bindi and derek and now we are joined by "dancing with the stars" season 18 finalist and co-host of "the view," candace cameron bure. and we saw what the audience, they think -- they want bindi to win. to win? >> i'm on the audience's side. bindi just -- she grabbed my heart this year, and i think she's definitely the front-runner. i think she has it in the bag. i think america loves her. i think she pulled on everyone's heart strings and saw her journey and she's like the nicest person the world. >> and you know it was like a showstopping moment because she didn't know the picture of her dad was going to show up. and what did you think about that? i thought that was really sweet.

and sometimes when you're in the dance and in the moment of that audience, it can be overwhelming but there was something more to it than that and realizing after that it was because she didn't know that picture was going to go up. it just made sense and you felt it even more. >> and the judges called alek's freestyle a dance for the ages. now, were you surprised by the >> yeah -- well, i was surprised >> really? >> i was so excited. the finals. he was kind of in my mind the meat of my season like something that -- >> u described him as that? >> yes. i think he's done an amazing job and i was -- i'm so happy that he made it, and i definitely think his freestyle was one that i'll remember forever. no one has donit like an army obstacle course. it was super cool. >> now, what about nick? nick brought back a little bit of the backstreet boys. and i'm ray big backstreet boys fan. what did you think about his freestyle? >> me too. listen, the guy knows how to move. i think he was great.

i want a little bit more from nick even thouough he kied his routine but, you know, bindi, she stole my heart. >> and carlos, carlos made it a family affair, brought out his wife, something we've never seen before. >> and paula deen. >> yeah. yeah, and a couple of the other contestants from the show that season and that, think, is the heart of carlos. i loved what he did and he killed his routine, as well. he did such a good job and i love the connection that he had wi his wife and he said even their relationsh grew on the show because you can see because of the competition could end up being strife or a bigger connection. >> i'm sure if there was strife at home he wouldn't have it on the show. we got part twowof the "dancing" finale is here tonight, and all the finalists are here tomorrow for tomorrow's ballroom bash. "dancing with the stars" will return for its 22nd season next year on monday, march 21st. and n't miss candace on the hallmark channel's movie "a christmas detour." make sure you watch that. all right? back to you, robin.

i've got a dancearter right here. jet. you know it's been 40 years since "rocky" won the oscar for best picture. now sylvester stone is getting back in the ring, generating oscar buzz again in one ofhe biest movies of this fall, this time around, you know what, jet, he's a trainer. he's helping a young boxer prepare for the biggest fight of his life in "creed." >> because i said to myself, if i break, if i'm hurt, whatever i ain't going to fix it. why bother. >> and i'm just some bum living in your career, there's nothing. >> you're a good kid, a good fighter, but you got your whole fufuture ahe of you. mine, it's back there like all them guys on that wall in the back, in the past. >> yeah, they still got it. still got it. i loved all the "rocky" movies and loved thihis one too,

watched it the other night, "c"creed," a it seems like the natural evolution for "rocky." >>hat made it so extraordinary because of this journey that rocky takes, it was presented by a man in his late 20s or 27 years old, who just became fixated on extending the story but also bringing in a new character, creed, who kind of speaks to what's happening today more like the millennials whereas rocky was the voice of the '70s and '80s, this fellow is speaking about the problems and issues that face younger people today. >> and so let's bring people up to speed. creed, of course is the son of- >> apollo creed, who is my frie, ntor and the fellow who changed my life, and so he became kind of an idolized object to me. i said, you know, i've always revered him then h he died bause of me in "rocky iv," so i always lived in this dark regret

appears and comes at a particular time when rock yy has sort of given up on life. >> michael b. . jordan. >> yeah. >> tell us about what it was like working with this young man. does he have it? >> yeah, he does have it, and that's why i think he's going to go on and be a force in this industry because people are interested in watching him. >> i want to show a picture of you with the greatest of all time, muhammad ali. >> of course. >> and you've always said there's just something -- what is it about boxing and s something that you were drawn to with that? >> there's two things, i think. speed and fighting. in other words, racing, we're always racing against time in one sense or another, and i think when you see it portrayed metaphorically or symbolically and then y see a fighter like an ali or someone, you embrace the whole because it's more than just a fight. it's touching you onon a level that you may not even be aware of subconsciously. >> that's a wonderful thing. and your beautiful family. >> oh, my god. >> oh, my god, and your daughter modeling. >> oh, my god.

>> i know you're proud of all your children. >> i am. every one of them are beautiful and ery one has a special ability and sistine and sofia is in usc. and sistine is trying to make her own name. >> much like this guy was trying to make his own name. >> there it is. >> well, you deserve every blessing coming your way. thanyou so much. >> always great to be here, seriouy. >> you know what, he was here yesterday, sly, and he took a picture with the crew, always doing this thing, you knowdo the rocky thing, took picture after picture after picture. one of the great guys and, "creed," you saw it too. >> yeah. i mean, michael b. jordan also a great, great guy. i mean just so psonalable and the movie is awesome. loved it. >> can't wait to see it. >> me too. >> you can wait until tomorrow because "creed" opens in theaters tomorrow. but amy and i already got the chance. >> yeah. >> let's go outside to ginger. oh, robin, i first have to say thanks to millie. she is making my mornining giving me some kisses.
