Dick’s Sporting Tumor

Cancer for Breakfast

Oh…my…god, Becky! Look at her…tumor? It’s the dog days of summer and Amy is fostering an awkward mix up. Never fear, she fetches her cancer card to pay the price. Letters brings us a manic pixie dream mom—make that MEAN mom—who’s tactlessly longing for a listener’s old hair. Then, a self sufficient carcinomie admits she is struggling. Does anyone have a spoon? RATS explores a rectal cancer study. (Yes, THAT one.) Then, we celebrate a special grad with a big ol’ correction. Send us your letters for Under the Bus 2!
