Cancer Carded

08/10/21 • 47 min

Stef’s been chanting mantras in a trailer park healing shack by the sea, should we call for help? Hold the phone—It’s the cancer card episode! You get a cancer card, and YOU get a cancer card, and YOU get one! Listeners share the ways they’ve cashed in on their experience with the big C to enhance myriad situations; we’ve got cops, coffees, and upgrades galore. Also, Big Thief and Big Keef are back and STILL mixed up. Maybe they’ll do a benefit show together? Then, a surprise letter is coming...from inside the house! Someone near and dear reminds fellow blood cancer people to get their covid antibody tests. Finally, HATS... we mean RATS has incredible news for glioblastomas. Magnets: how do they work?!

Amy’s dosed herself... again! And this time she’s using the ol’ herb to cope with a new cancer scare. Spoiler alert: this sequel has a happy ending. Then, things get loosey goosey as the gals reminisce about times they’ve used (or abused) their Cancer Cards. Have you swiped yours? Spill the deets; we’re on your side. Also! New business, who dis? Dial 1-800-GoFundMe-4u! While we have you on the line, send over your tips and tricks with the “bald” thing. In letters, it’s sarcoma awareness month! Plus, an update from our favorite ex-Starbucks barista, and a love letter to Yolanda. RATS outta the bag: a new blood test might answer the age-old question: do I even HAVE cancer??

Freshman Orientation

Oh hi, are you new here? WTF, huh? Well, you’ve come to the right place. This episode is for everyone, but early stagers to the front! From the dirt on diagnosis to the scoop on scanxiety, this episode covers a lot, and it goes out to you, newbies! Welcome to the wildest party in town. Let’s talk! You’re scared shitless, aren’t ya? Mmhmm, we’ve been there. And so have our listeners! So put down your coat, scooch in, and let us braid your hair. While you still have it!! Lol, ...oh honey, calm down! It’s a joke. And you newly metastatic friends: an entire episode dedicated to you is coming, but we think you’ll benefit from this episode, too.
But first! The gals are jocks now, so we hope you’re prepared to join us or hate us. Right now we can’t even exercise for 10 minutes straight, but we can certainly TALK about doing it for 11 minutes +. Move over Costco, Amy apparently stans Dick’s Sporting Goods now, and Stef’s neighbors are reporting her...for biking in public (is that sweaty woman ok...?). RATS is short but VERY sweet this week. Some mice and their 14 yr old bodybuilder friend are curing metastatic breast cancer! Come for the science, stay for the imposter syndrome. Great hustle, team!
