A 21-year-old woman was devastated when she discovered she had cancer and had a 40% chance of surviving the next five years. After staying home for a few days and crying, she told her incredibly supportive boyfriend. She then decided to share the news with her family in person and traveled with her boyfriend to their town. However, their reaction was unexpected and shocking. After telling them the news, there was an awkward silence followed by her sister-in-law announcing her pregnancy. The family then congratulated her and talked about babies, completely ignoring the woman’s cancer diagnosis. When she later expressed her hurt feelings to the family group chat, she was rejected and accused of being selfish. The woman is now left wondering if she is in the wrong and has turned to Reddit for judgment. Read on for the comments and reactions to this heartbreaking situation.
