In this week’s episode, Alex and Mary reflect on their various experiences with cancer, having come to the mutual conclusion that they hate it. They hate what it does to hopes and dreams, they hate what it does to families, and they hate how it affects everything and everyone in a person’s life who is living with cancer. They pretty much hate everything about cancer. They are united in their hate of cancer.
