Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other 🥃

My mother's thing has spread. Metastasis, they say. Experimental treatments with emphasis on quality of life, they suggest. I don't know what to do.

Please, please, please be nice to everyone and help everyone in any way you can.

I'm truly sorry to hear that. I know it's a little cliche, but don't forget to take care of yourself so that you can take care of her, and sometimes just being there is enough.
