Thanks for sharing the update. You have an amazing knack for finding the perfect gifs 😂. How are your taste buds treating you? I have a good colleague in Houston if you do end up at MD and could use some personal connections. Sending you ❤️

Thanks Aviva! Right now the taste buds are okay- anything that’s too spicy or acidic can bother my mouth but luckily tastes are still relatively there for now. Appreciate the support and if we do go to Houston I’ll keep that in mind!

💔❤️ I wish you actionable mutations and a surprisingly good scan. MD Anderson is a special place. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thanks, Joe. For what it's worth, I recently met a woman who's brother was treated at MD Anderson and had very positive things to say- from what I can gather, I believe it's a good option and the best resources. Quality of life/ palliative care during treatment is so important, I think about how alone we were- even at SJ- and I wonder what it would have been like without so much support from the facility itself. - more unsolicited advice. Sending y'all love and *feeling good* -silly vibes, too, haha - definitely appreciate your silliness. Thank you

Thanks! Yeah I think logistically and on the surface hearing I need more staff or help is not fun but when I drill down into it I know it’s the right thing and have heard nothing but amazing things from everyone. As always appreciate all your support!!!

Listen: EVERYONE needs more help, more community, more support. Especially when getting well.
