Till the next update, I'm going to assume it's pre-cancerous cells (suggested in chat by
@SAVE TWINKIE!), or an abnormal result that requires a second scraping, which happens a lot. It's not that I'm trying to not believe she has cancer-cancer, it's just that she obviously wanted this saga so badly and boom, she got it. Which seems off. Or maybe it's because my cousin just got a positive breast cancer result, and they didn't give her the news on the phone, the called her in so she could get the news along with a discussion of what's next and her options. It's weird they'd call and be like "amber, you've got the big C, have a nice day" Giving someone bad news like that on the phone seems like medical negligence, because the person could freak out and harm themselves because they think that's it, it's over, no options. But maybe they made an appointment for her to go in tomorrow and in her frazzled state, she just didn't mention that.
The shantyfolk are way too stupid and intellectually incurious to figure out what options exist for amber to get medical assistance and a case worker to manage it. Amber is too dumb and dramatic to consider that there are options out there. Not short term health insurance, they won't pay for preexistings from the past 60 months.
Amber keeps saying she wants her mom and whatever, well she knows how to get in touch with her. The woman is sober, if she was like "mom, I need you" I think she'd be there without having to rehash shit (hopefully with aunt tammie in tow to keep an eye on her sobriety).
