This card's description reads: "'Fuck cancer.' Who can disagree with that? Not me. Seriously, fuck cancer. I could hashtag it all day long. I really appreciate visibility and fundraisers and running for the cure. But I also know that hashtags and fundraisers and 'fuck cancer' don't help all that much with the loneliness and isolation that can come with having cancer.

Things that DO help: Friends and family who lovingly, unconditionally show up for the hard stuff."
