Close Your Bones
Episode description
Close Your Bones
In the final chapter of our ongoing financial roller coaster, a hero arrives—in a white coat, not a cape. It’s a bird, it’s a plane…actually, is that Air Force One?! Then, a letter from a rectal cancer survivor whose fertility didn’t make it. How do we honor that grief and explore closure (literally)? Stef outs herself as a full moon hippie (we knew it, didn’t we, listeners?) and Amy’s biting on others’ cultural rituals? Amy! We’ve talked about this! Then, a *deeply* touchy topic with major science potential: harvesting hard-to-get tumors. The gals spitball how to help a study find its subjects. It’s body talk that no one knows how to broach. Ahem, yes we said BODIES (fair warning). And in RATS, a travel grant took Stef to the Lobular Breast Cancer Symposium and she’s back to tell the tale. What happens when you see yourself as a data point on a screen? In this case? It’s thrilling!
This episode is dedicated to Rach.
