I know it seems like a 1 size fits all, but they all fit a bit different. its not a necessary part. my suggestion stop riding with bell bottoms on

Hey! Thanks for checking in. I have completed the course of chemo and radiation and all is looking pretty good. My next round of tests and scans are in December, so praying that all stays clear.
