Why down ballot voting is important: Majority of Arizonians support abortion (Prop 139 will protect abortion access up to viability), but judges in the state can still block it; Tarrant county Texas judge Tim O’Hare has lead efforts to cut nonprofit funding for at-risk children because they endorse LGBTQIA+ rights and recognize racial inequality as bad; He is, not unsurprisingly, backed by oil companies and evangelical christian organizations predominantly. He also continues to endorse white nationalism; All this to say, vote, vote local, talk about voting, make a plan to vote, put it on your calendar.

If you thought breast cancer was boring, wait 'til you hear about sarcoma. Join special guest and honorary co-host Brandi Thompson as we explore some of the fun ways in which our bodies are out here trying to un-alive us. Yay!

Turn the waterworks up to 11, because big C is the traumatic gift that keeps on giving; come along and have an out-of-body experience over a scab. It'll be fun!

Food, glorious food! Oh, powdered potatoes and applesauce.

Sometimes good stuff gets edited out of our episodes for the sake of time. In this first installment of mini episodes we're calling BCI B Sides, Joselyn and Lauren discuss the Port, what it is, what it does, how it should be "accessed" (medical term for shoving a needle in you). Enjoy.

Oh the shits you will shit. Managing chemo symptoms from (yes) shit to folliculitis to fatigue.

People are wonderful and kind and there to offer help and support. People are disappointing and shitty and completely useless and they don't understand and you'r all alone here.

We're gonna need a bigger tote bag; from heating pads to industrial strength concealer, some things you may need to make it through chemo.

What, exactly, did I do to deserve this? A journey to the center of self-pity.
