Was sorry to hear about you mom. Any advanced stage of cancer causes great physical suffering for the person and great psychological suffering for those that truly love them.
As for Amberlynn, when you are a delusional narcissist, everything is about YOU.
@For The Internet...screwed up my post when trying to edit it.
Thanks for the kind words. We were very lucky the doctors caught it in time, it had spread to her lymph nodes and was on the verge of going metastatic. Thankfully the chemo and radiotherapy combined with surgery was effective and she's been cancer free for 10 years.
I'm not sure why Amber is withholding information about her mother's cancer. I know that when I was going through that I didn't want to share with people so normally I'd be understanding of her reluctance to speak but since she has no trouble mentioning it on YouNow and in monetised YouTube videos I'm not sure why she can't just say 'she has X stage breast cancer. She is having x treatments. That's all I'm willing to say, but thank you to everyone who has given their support.'
I'm guessing that if her mother's had it for 3 years she probably doesn't have stage 4 cancer. Maybe 3, although treatment is quite aggressive (or was in my mum's case) and I'd have thought the cancer would have been obvious if she was getting radiotherapy or chemo. It makes me suspect she might be stage 1 or possibly 2, and she doesn't need the more intensive treatments. If that's the case the cynic in me says Amber wouldn't want to tell everyone it's 'only' stage 1 or 2 because it would mean less pity and attention. Pretty sick if she's really doing that.
It also reminds me of people who do the MY COUSIN HAS CANCER I NEED YOUR PRAYERS thing when all that's up is the person getting a tiny pre-cancerous mole removed. Cancer is cancer, though, and I hope her mother is doing well and beats it, whatever stage it is.
I hate Dustin almost as much as I hate Big Al. I know she's slow and special, but even slow people can be taught not to abuse animals. And I totally forgot that Dana described herself as hateful.
Yeah, I really can't help but dislike Dustin on a similar level to my dislike for Al herself. She wasn't just a sped petting an animal a little too hard, she slapped that puppy on the nose as punishment for its puppy behaviour. She and Dana are both complicit in animal hoarding.
I appreciate the tea on Amber but I don't think it negates the bad stuff we know about her. A few weeks ago people found out that Dana had 2 dogs six months ago and as of Destiny moving in she had no dogs. Dana admitted to not 'having the time' to take a new puppy to the vet over the span of an entire month, leading to the dog's death from parasites and malnutrition. She and Destiny adopted 3 puppies (at least one at an age where it had no business being sold) in the span of a month. No matter how much tea Dana spills I'm not going to be okay with her, I can't get past animal cruelty.
No doubt Dana has been more reasonable and mature in this situation, but ALL of the people in Amber's circle are fucked up in some way or another. Dana isn't an exception.
I'm definitely Team Get-Those-Animals-Away-From-Obese-Abusive-Assholes.
