Our brave cancer survivor has been asked to wear a strapless bridesmaid dress for her friend’s wedding, despite having had a mastectomy just two months ago. She’s not comfortable with the idea and suggests an alternative with sleeves, but the bride loses it, claiming the whole year has been about the bridesmaid’s illness and she just wants one day focused on her. The bride refuses to accept any alternatives, leading to the bridesmaid dropping out of the wedding and losing the friendship. Can you believe it?
