    Episode summary:
    Today's episode is a fly-on-the-wall perspective for you of how friends talk about cancer. A couple of my friends and I all had cancer within a couple of years of each other, and this is a full-length, unedited conversation that we had about it last year. Warning there's some foul language and tough discussions.

    Guest(s): Laura and Melissa
