Heaven’s Homerun Derby

Lord, beer us strength and grant us patients—we mean patience—because some cancer people are really showing us up with their feats of strength! Even the angels are waving foam fingers in support of our home team’s heavy hitter. Meanwhile, the gals are drinking for a good cause! We’re talkin bout that mighty fine (and hard to find) F* Cancer can. And you can bet we’re still screaming for screening...breast cancer screening, duh! A+S are rounding up stories to get the ACS shakin’ in their boots; send yours in! Hell hath no fury like young survivors ignored! Then, a letter from Amy’s doppelgänger talks treatment and the mindfuck that is diagnosis. Who, me? A cancer person?? Not today, Satan! An ovarian cancer filmmaker shares thoughts on losing fertility, and it’s no summer blockbuster; we share a link to her groundbreaking short about a person dying during the pandemic. It can’t all be a walk in the (ball)park, folks! We slide into home with a RATS that has a vaccine trial targeting Lynch Syndrome, a big-time colon cancer culprit. Score!
