The hell with buying magazines, **Snickers** , they have a thing called the internet these days. 😉 The actual problem, of course, is _storage_ and I don’t think my family has figured that out.

You guys have a freezer, yes? Just label it clearly - hate to get it mixed up with the ice cream. 🙂

I sent this link to my parents because it does look kind of promising. They’re now hoping to start chemo Monday or Tuesday of next week, so finding a place fast is a priority.

Just spotted this thread just now (was a follower of the old one) and my heart sank. God damn it all to hell! **Marley** , my thoughts and prayers and very best wishes are with you and Tyler and your folks. This story hurt to read when I first learned of it. Having gone through our own cancer scare this year makes it ten times harder to read now, but I know writing and reaching out to your community can help. We kept a blog so we could do the same (and not have to tell the same story 20x over to different family members).

I’d hug you if I were there, **Marley**. You’re in my heart.
