Stef writes a winning essay, and an innocent trip to the farmer’s market ends with Amy accidentally abusing her drugs again. A listener is bummed on the Amisode so the gals chat about the minefield that is real-deal cancer talk and why we make this podcast, anyway. We've got good R.A.T.S. for Her2+ colon and breast cancers, and letters today include a power outage during chemo, a gift fit for a chill Disney Princess, and a Tucson music icon deals with throat cancer, we read words from his future wife Hannah.
