Welcome to Season 2! We’re f**ing ecstatic to bring you another season of TYFTS. Rosalina and Shauna recorded this episode back in January 2021. They discussed so many different topics, from relationships with friends and families moments that they felt like giving up on treatment, pulling the cancer card, etc. We also celebrated Shauna’s cancerversary(Jan 5th & Jan 14th) - she has two, lol, and Rosalina’s birthday on Jan 26.
