Hi! so about 3 years ago, my younger sister was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when she was 14. We knew her life, as well as our lives would be flipped upside down with this diagnosis but one of the biggest problems she ran into surprisingly was a lot of bullying. She’s very active on social media and posted her journey everywhere she could to help make people aware of childhood cancer. A lot of people on social media would say that the cancer made her fat and that they hoped she died. As I type this I’m thinking “oh my god. People are gonna think I’m making this shit up.” And I wish I was but I am not. When she was finally cleared to go back to school, kids constantly tried to pull her wig off of her head and make remarks to her about how she was “faking” her illness. I’m really hoping nothing like this happened to you but if it did, I want to know how you dealt with it or anything similar to it so maybe I could give her some advice from someone who knows kind of how she’s feeling because I can’t even begin to try to put myself in her shoes. And what advice could you offer me about dealing with people who are emotionally hurting my sister?

Also I’m so proud of you for being a warrior.
