Idk what her story is other than her and her”boyfriend” are clearly full of shit and I’ve never seen anyone less convincing.
What I’ve seen often is some doctor tells a girl she has some rogue cells, often of the reproductive system sort. Sometimes it’s skin-related .
It’s usually the type of shit that may potentially become cancerous in 15 years if not dealt with and they run around telling everyone they’re dying or have cancer. I’ve only known 1 who went the gofundme route.
I know like 3 girls who claim they’ve had cancer for like 20 years and they’ve never been sick for even a short period of time. Like people paying for their kids to go to some sports tournament for thousands year after year for a decade and sending them also for a week-long vacation and I’m like, what exactly does she have where she’s never been sick to my knowledge? Yet everyone treats them like they’re in some constant battle. No one ever calls them on it because it’s such a bad look if you’re wrong, but you’re not going to be wrong here.
Doctors really use pre-COPD, pre-diabetes, and pre-cancerous Pap smears or random mole language too much. I know why they do it, as they want people to quit smoking, lose weight, or go get some scrape done and say it to scare them and take it seriously, but they don’t have it yet and with a small number of people, they’ll run around telling people they have cancer or COPD for the next 30 years. I’ve known 25 year old smokers talk about having COPD and I just shake my head, but their doctor rattled their cage.
I’ve had girls who have told me we are both cancer survivors in conversation. I’ll think to myself I never use that language or refer to myself as that in public, it rarely comes up unless someone asks me why I don’t have kids once I know them and I get into getting sick three months after getting married until basically 40. Its pure luck to emerge and makes people who pass on sound like quitters when living or not is almost always purely luck. What’s the opposite of survivor? They quit? That’s rarely the case.
I’ll ask them what they had and these girls had a scary pap smear in 2002 and nothing ever came of it while I’m sitting there thinking I had like 12 surgeries, 3 quite major ones, in just the first 18 months and a few others later and it stole almost every day for 8-10 years of my life.
And even in the midst of it I always felt like an ass if I started feeling sorry for myself because I was young, but then I’d see some 8 year old with no hair who was going to be gone in a month and tell myself quit being a pussy. I just couldn’t imagine saying that shit. It would make me feel like some dude who was a national guard reservist during peace time down at the VFW comparing my experience with dudes who did 3 tours in Nam and lost a leg.
I have no idea her true story, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she had some type of small or brief cancer and fell in love with the attention/sympathy/money and now you called her on it and she’s spinning poorly. That’s what I’ve seen. Girls who had a bad doctor visit or scary test and it snowballs into a long narrative after the problem is resolved and just don’t say I’m fine now or it wasn’t as serious as it could have been. I can’t imagine anyone who likes attention like she clearly does with her social media presence not instantly shutting you and everyone else up who doesn’t believe her if she was seriously ill. You get about a 200 page novel for every damn hospital discharge and I could have wall-papered Mar Lago with mine back then. She might not give a fuck what you think, but it’s obvious she cares very much what her Twitter followers and the poker world think and even her defenders know she’s full of shit whatever they say online.
