there are great new cancer treatments, that were getting better week by week as i was doing chemotherapy. I hope that sen sasse has an opportunity to experience every aspect of our system's "invisible hands."

my prayer for the new year is that the cancer research continue, and that every human in america who needs the drugs can get them. shout out to st blaise.
