The really horrible thing is that in spite of all the bad things that come with having cancer such as the invasive medical tests and the difficulties that come with being over 500lb, Amberlynn will be LOVING all the attention she is getting from this. The only thing Amberlynn craves in almost equal amounts to food is attention and validation from everyone around her. All of a sudden she has gone from being a fat dumb hog princess to a Very Important Cancer Warrior who is very busy with appointments to attend, doctors to talk to, and hour upon hour of google research to do. So many 'grown-ups' paying Amberlynn attention! This is exactly what she has spent most of her life aiming for and she is thrilled by it.
