Long time silent viewer here and while I don’t have something as serious as cancer, I did get diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 19. I’m only half way through your video but it’s infuriating hearing a story like this. Myself and so many others struggle with the set backs that chronic illnesses cause and someone wanting to fake that exhausting experience is a slap in the face to what we go through everyday

Hi fellow ra warrior I too have ra and oa I was diagnosed a week after a traumatic birth at 25 yrs old it was so hard ,15 yrs on not gonna lie ra is kicking my arse 🤮.chronic illness is horrible and people faking it like this one in the video sets us back so much -stay strong 💪🏻.

The last time someone said I was lying I pulled my shirt up (I had a tank top on!) and showed them all my scars from my surgeries and then tell them to shut the f up. I’m lucky that I have something on the outside to show people now.

[@fifivert]

I have chronic autoimmune thyroiditis- I am extremely lucky it got caught when I started sleeping all day every day for weeks at 16. It is so hurtful to see someone do this, my condition was caught at a stage where it can be managed and I can live a normal life. It was hard to hear my diagnosis. It broke my heart because I was so young and healthy and I didnt understand. This isn’t okay.

[@ripley6611]

I have a spinal injury and chronic pain, definitely an invisible injury. I've had people go to my superiors and insist that I was faking everything. People won't even hang out cuz of my "excuses." I wouldn't wish that on anyone

[@tpatwastaken2134]

that tiktok of her story sounds like a highschool english presentation, talking about her traumatic cancer experience the same way she summaries the plot of catcher in the rye

[@grasstastesbad]

this. at first i thought she came across as believable but the more she goes into it… she’s saying really emotional things without any emotion

[@whatever-rv1xl]

0 emotion in her voice while talking about "the worst day of my life"😂

[@BreakofDawn]

And the way she kept reading off her script, was like that student who keeps reading off their PowerPoint, even though the teacher tells them they don’t want to see them looking at a slide for more than 3 seconds

[@dessertfirstandlastandalways]

@@grasstastesbad I was going to comment about that, too. When I was watching her talking, I didn’t sense any gravitas. When I was diagnosed with Stage III Esophageal Cancer in 2018 (became Stage IV in 2019), I didn’t cry in the doctor’s office, because I knew he was going to give me bad news. However, when I went to work the next day and I was telling my co-workers about my diagnosis, all the emotions came out and I was shaking and teary-eyed. It’s not the same thing as telling someone what you ate for lunch. I don’t know how she got away with her lies for so long.

[@RebeccaDoesStuff]

I worked with blood cancer patients for years, pancreatic cancer CANNOT SPREAD into ALL its a different morphology. It’s possible to have metastases and you can have concurrent SEPERATE cancers but what she described just cannot happen. The amount of people that I have seen keep fighting while they still get sicker and she uses this for attention is gross.

[@AngelikaOles]

Didn’t know that! Thanks for the insight

[@rtred3_]

Exactly, heard that and clocked the lie. Leukemia is possible after radiation treatment but it occurs years later. So disgusting to lie about something like this.

[@smilemore6130]

My thoughts exactly! I was so confused with what she said😅

[@JoyfulNerd400]

I was going to say exactly that. I’m not somebody who worked with cancer patients but I had a family member who sadly passed away due to pancreatic cancer and… it doesn’t work like that lol

[@jodinovotny1985]

Thats actually not true.. I still 100% think shes lying but I actually knew someone personally that happened to. It's possible its just very rare.

[@Hennygenius]

Yes! I lost my best friend to cancer when we were 15, and to watch his struggles for years only to have people fake the disease is horrific and cruel I wouldn’t wish that pain on anybody, and you surely shouldn’t wish it upon yourself

[@andieeve]

When I was in high school one of my closest friends had a really rare bone cancer. Another girl who I was vaguely friends with came into school one day with super cute blushed cheeks, so I complimented her, and she replied ‘oh, thank you, but it’s from my medication since I’ve got cancer.’ of course I said i was sorry she had cancer but moved on with my day. If it ended here it would have been great, but the mum of the first friend ran into the parents of the other girl and gave her condolences for their daughter having cancer, since she knew how hard it was to go through that. They were basically like ‘what?? she has heart arrhythmia, not cancer.’ so she had lied to her friends about having cancer cause she thought it would get her more sympathy that heart arrhythmia…

[@alexisreads]

Hearing her use the term “football-sized tumor” when referring to her fake cancer made me so upset and angry. I had a childhood friend that was diagnosed with cancer and I’ll never forget the first time I heard my mom tell me that my friend had a football-sized tumor in her stomach. She passed away in 2012 when we were 11, and I watched her fight for years. The fact that this woman FAKED something so serious and heartbreaking honestly makes me sick to my stomach.

[@Mossy_Rock1]

[@syggy1484]

Literally, my dad can no longer smell or taste since his cancer surgery and treatment. Which is small compared to others, but it is still a daily crazy thing. I accidentally bought him a candle, too. Yikes 😬 or the number of times I go, oh, you have to taste this... I feel so bad. You can see it on his face a brief moment of sadness before laughing it off and making a joke about it.

@E I'm so sorry you're going through that. My uncle had a brain tumour. It was tragic the way he could no longer speak. He had surgery, which gave him his speech back for a few months, but his was sadly extremely aggressive. Sending you and your loved ones well wishes.

[@jessicah4462]

@@xxoxEVAxoxx Laughter is the biggest tool in mine and my husband’s toolbox, too. Even laughing AT the cancer. I’m stage 4 breast, invasive ductal carcinoma, triple negative, brca positive only in the tumor. Laughing daily has been so important. When we first found out we just cried. Quickly realized the more we cried the deeper into cancer we fell. My mantra has been that cancer isn’t invited into my home and I refuse to make it a lifestyle. If I do, I am dead. We’re doing Lynparza, will get results soon to see if it’s working at all 🤞. I have mets in my sacrum, L7, hip bone and lung. Best of health and luck to you! 💕

In school when I was like 17, a friend in our group pretended to have a brain tumour/cancer and basically said she had a few months to live and told us not to tell anyone. Obviously we told our parents because we were all upset that our friend was going to die. Basically long story short she went on with the story for a good few months. Then after half term we saw her drinking at a party and we were obviously concerned because she told us she couldn’t due to the cancer. When we asked her about it she said “oh I had brain surgery during the week of half term and I’m cured now” with her full head of hair intact. Obviously we all cut ties with her and she still alive and well today, was crazy!

[@Lecari]

I went to sixth form with a girl who told all of my friends that she had cancer but "don't tell anyone" as apparently even her own parents didn't know. (She was 17 and living with them, there's no way they wouldn't have been told!) I only found out after this had been going on for months, she was apparently going into London for chemo appointments, and it was so obviously a lie. But of course her friends didn't want to confront her incase it was true. But like the person you know, she said she'd had surgery and was totally fine now!!! Absolute rubbish, it made me so angry back then and still makes me angry now. She never admitted to it or apologised.

[@lelou12]

Same thing happened to me at 13! She faked cancer and only came clean when we started questionning her because her story made no sense. Then to get out of it, she tried to convince us that her uncle had gotten into a car crash, and that he wouldn't survive so she would get his liver and that would somehow cure her completely. We finally called her out and school officials got involved. She got a tattoo of a heart with wings and a little banner saying "sorry" not long after 🙄

[@nikailx22]

why is this so common!! I had a friend freshman year that did the same thing but she said lung cancer

[@lauraandersen4634]

Lost my dad in Jan to brain cancer, glioblastoma, it slowly ate away at his mind until he passed. You don’t want this - and you don’t deserve the attention. These people disgust me.

i mean if she watched breaking bad she couldve said she had an ice pack on her head while getting treatment 😭😭

[@muddygirl8819]

Her not losing her hair would have been the biggest red flag for me. I didn’t have cancer but was hospitalized with a bad infection and went septic. I had 9 surgeries total and spent 3 months in the hospital, this included 10 days intubation in the ICU. Exactly at the 3 month mark my hair started falling out by the handful. Nothing was going to stop it, and in total I lost about 3/4 of my hair. When you go through something that puts a lot of stress on your body, especially when you are taking certain medications like chemo or in my case the anesthesia drugs used for my surgeries. There is nothing you can do to stop the hair loss it just happens so right there that should have been a major red flag. I had to cut what hair was left from the small of my back to being 1 inch long because I looked like a chemo patient and even then it was so thin i had to wear caps until my hair started to grow back. 3 years later my hair is still no where as thick as it use to be.

Oh God, I hate how she is listing all these things that she's allegedly "accomplished" while supposedly having to go through chemotherapy. It's like a big f*ck you to anyone that legitimately is going through chemotherapy especially because when going through chemo so many people struggle to just get out of bed., let alone getting a *alleged* 3.9 GPA. Oh and somehow keeping her long shiny hair due to a vitamin, can she get anymore idiotic. I hope she gets everything she truly deserves.

[@Anne-fp3is]

I got my cancer diagnosis in may of 2020, and I must say it's insane to sit and listen to someone who (allegedly) never have had treatment, describe a pain that feels so personal to me. Luckily, I am now cancer free, but this video had me fuming. I hope she never experiences cancer for real, but knowing that up to 50% of the population will, she is doomed to come across it sometime in her life. The way she is proud of her GPA despite having cancer also rubs me the wrong way as I had to quit my studies and haven't had the energy to pick them back up, even if it's been almost 3 years since my point of diagnosis. Disgusting. Edit: Okay, I'm sorry but taking biotin to keep your hair when the whole point of chemotherapy is to destroy your cells? It baffles me that anybody managed to believe her. Sorry for waffling, but I'm fuming.

[@fifivert]

I have lost 2 loved ones very suddenly to pancreatic cancer since 2020, so the fact that she weaponised that cancer for her personal agenda hurts all the more. There are very real issues in cancer research and awareness both in more general terms, but also within the cancer whereby certain cancers receive far more attention and funding than others despite having far higher survival rates, but now it feels like that message is tainted and that makes me sad. It truly is a horrible, quick and violent disease and my thoughts are with anyone who is actually dealing with it currently.

my father had stage 4 cancer (he’s in remission and has been for almost five years now) whenever i hear about people faking cancer it makes me feel physically sick and so angry. my dad was so embarrassed to lose his hair. it’s grown back now, but he actually saw this woman on the tiktok i think (before it came out that she was lying) and was so confused as to what he was doing wrong when he was going through chemotherapy because he was balding, he was thin and frail, he was weak and tired all the time. he still struggles to look at pictures from when he was in treatment. i’m so proud of my dad for getting through it. i almost wish i could punch this woman in the face, but i know that wouldn’t be of any help.

[@fawnjames76]

Anyone who would fake an illness for attention or clout is disgusting. So many people live with real chronic illness everyday and they fight to be normal they dont go around advertising their illnesses.

[@suan333]

Really? That many rounds of chimo and she still has that luscious hair? Nah I have a friend that had cancer and after 3 rounds he started to lose chunks of hair and thats when he saved it. And the fact that she kept looking at her scripted speech 🙄

[@claraaralc]

This whole thing is so horrible, what really gets me is first of all her saying all the things she's going to achieve, when people who actually have terminal illnesses may not. Secondly, pretending biotin(?!?) of all things is going to stop people losing their hair?? Losing your hair due to treatment is already hard enough without someone giving you hope a little supplement is going to help. I'm not in the medical field but the only thing I've ever seen work to prevent hair loss during chemo is wearing a type of ice/cold cap on your head... At least lie properly if you're going to lie...

[@savvayh.7539]

The one and only thing this horrible girl got right is getting your check ups. My moms breast cancer was found during a routine mammogram basically in the earliest stages but she still had to go through nearly 3 months of radiation, the cost and mental/psychical toll it took on her was pretty devastating and her form/stage of cancer was technically “invisible, she’s doing much better now but can be considered in remission until after shes off her meds without the cancer returning. People who fake these illnesses are the reason my mom was barely able to get time off of work to go to her radiation treatments, seriously I hope she’s in jail for as long as possible. This lie has real impacts to people who actually hav cancer

[@claudxo7]

I got 5 mins in and as a Nurse in the UK who looks after these patients I'm sickened by these people who do this. Pancreatic cancer is one of the highest cancer killers in the UK, there's barely any symptoms and by the time the person gets symptoms it's usually later stages and palliative care. It's a horrible type of cancer. These people need mental health help because that's what this is, it's disgusting & disrespectful to those who are actually living with cancer. It's awful!!!

My grandmother died 3 months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and those months were the worst of my life. Watching someone you love dying slowly in front of you causes a kind of trauma that never goes away. Seeing someone using this traumatic diagnosis as a way to con people it's just cruel.

[@ryliemckennal2887]

I usually am just a lurker but I recently got diagnosed with a rare genetic disease Alpha-1, as well as CFS from complications of having my liver start malfunctioning. I am 22 years old and was extremely active, never drank or smoke and ate healthy. My body no longer feels like my own and I am legally considered disabled. The clip in the beginning is so hard to watch because it's so accurate to how it feels to be sick when you don't obviously appear it, or have to fight through each day. I also am trying to finish out my college semester with a 3.8... it's just too similar to how I'm feeling and the fact that it is all fake is just so saddening. I don't know how to interact with people my own age because it's so hard to find others who understand or relate, so hearing from someone who seems to get it, but be lying about it, man that hits home to a dark place :( My heart goes out to all my fellow autoimmune folk, especially those who are dealing with it so young. ❤

[@jodinovotny1985]

Faking cancer is one of the most despicable things you can do. This last year I've lost 3 of the most important women in my life to cancer... The first being my best friends mom, three months later it took my mom, and then my aunt.

[@erinqi4455]

I had a "friend" i suspected faked cancer as well. warning signs started to come in when we noticed she 1)didnt lose any hair or weight 2) claimed to be actively playing in a collegiate level football (soccer) team. i hate how many people fake illness/injury/etc for sympathy because it gives real cases less credibility...

When she spoke about people with invisible or chronic diseases getting mental health issues because of how much pain and exhaustion there is, that enraged me! Nobody who isn’t an expert in the field or has a terminal, invisible or chronic illness will ever fully understand how badly it can affect your mental health. The way she trivialised it was disgusting.

[@morriganmidnight5500]

This makes me so mad! I was a full time carer for my dad when he had terminal cancer, 4 years ago, my mum currently has cancer and is going through treatment. I have chronic pain, suspected endometriosis, and for someone to lie about something like this, and then make light of the symptoms and make people feel like they were doing it wrong because they couldn't do what she was doing is disgusting!!

[@morriganmidnight5500]

Cancer alot of the time is not an invisible illness, 50 rounds of radiation and 8 of chemo you are for one losing your hair, with karetin or not you aren't working, doing school. Going to the gym after that! Not after having it that long -_-

Her using “etcetera” in her monologue about potentially dying soon should’ve been a red flag

[@alexacarrillo4339]

When my husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year they made us pay for everything up front even if we didn’t owe because our max out of pocket was $7500. We spent 10-12K(they sent the overcharged money back after 8 months)in one month because they threatened to not do testing if we didn’t pay what they thought we would owe. My family helped us out but there were people crying in the oncologist’s office about how they were going bankrupt. I find it extra disgusting that she conned people out of money and now they might not be willing to help someone that actually has cancer. March 15th we get to see if my husband is still in remission and due to some symptoms we are really scared this year will be a repeat of last year. My husband was diagnosed at 44 which is rare for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and we had our kids pretty young so we will have our youngest going to Georgia tech this year. Our eldest is doing online college because of her immune system issues.

[@raechelgrantham8134]

A very close family friend is and has been a nurse for cancer patients. She audibly gasped when I showed her the picture of Maddie's supposed "port". She said "no educated nurse would allow a patient's port to look like that. She should be ashamed of herself!". What a piece of work.

[@juliaherber2073]

[@itskashkashi]

I dont have cancer, but as someone that's been struggling with chronic illness for just over a decade, I can't understand how or why a healthy person would fake it. I'm more confused than angry. There must be some kind of suffering at the root of something like that. I hope she gets help.

[@monalisasssmile]

my aunt recently just finished her treatment for breast cancer at the age of 57. she already had lymphoma in her early twenties and went through very difficult times as treatment was extremely rough on her. in fact, she developed breast cancer as a result of her radiation years ago. my grandmother had colon cancer as well and went through very very hard treatment. she now has kidney cancer and other benign conditions, but isn’t undergoing any invasive treatment at her age. so to hear someone pretending to have cancer, and pretending to have to go through the hardships associated with cancer is disgusting. luckily, i’m adopted so the high cancer rates in my family won’t affect me physically. but this makes my blood boil

One thing I want to emphasize is that everyone has different reactions to chemo and radiation, and the chemo for each type of cancer is different.... so not losing your hair isn't always a giveaway. My husband had stage 4 colon cancer (did chemo) and my father had skin cancer AND lymphocytic leukemia (got chemo and radiation). Neither lost their hair. My husband kept working and unless he told you or you lived in our home, you would have never known he was going through chemo and dying. Its infuriating that someone would make people question other people who are already going through hell. Throw the book at this women.
