Throwaway cuz my sister follow me on reddit.

Three years ago my older sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Within six months her cancer was cleared. She had minor radiAtion and then hormone therapy afterwards. She is 100% fine and healthy no need for surgery.

We all came together and supported her during this time. Now, the thing has been is that she hasn’t stopped to remind us constantly about how she is a cancer survivor. And has made it her identity.

She has since plastered it all over social media. I don’t mind it because I can choose to ignore it.

But this family gathering season she was insufferable. My breaking point happened when my dad who has been dealing with nerve problems was telling us how physical therapy wasn’t working for him and he will likely need to get surgery. My sister started bringing up her cancer story again.

I snapped and told her that her surviving breast cancer was not impressive nor inspiration, it has a survival rate of 96% and to stop making everything about her story.

My sister walked out of the room. I thought my family would back me up but instead my parents backed up my sister. My dad didn’t say anything but he was on my sisters side. I don’t know maybe what I said wasn’t the nicest way but I don’t think I was wrong in what I said
