Good for her!  And you!

Cancer sucks.

Sorry to hear about the cancer but it's great that she was able to save on the drugs.

It's like people who stock up on pills in Mexico or like in Dallas Buyers Club. No doubt the FDA keeps us safe, but some regulations hurt our ability to get good medicine at an affordable price from another market.
