My 25F and my friend Sarah 29F about 2 years ago she had a strawberry size lesion on her thigh which is about 3 CM and it turned to be early stage of skin cancer all the did back then was excised it under local anesthesia too and they told her it was over and she doesn’t have it anymore.

Today i was with her and mutual friend, our mutual friend has a recurrent abdominal pain and he will do an exploratory laparotomy to know the cause and he kept talking about how scared he is and then sarah came and threw the cancer card.

She started talking about “ how she survived cancer and how it destroyed her life and he will be fine and she understand how he feels etc”

I snapped at her and told her it’s misleading of her to call herself as a cancer survivor because what she had backthen was almost nothing and just a lesion on the skin.

And when people hear the world “ cancer survivor “ they would think about someone who took chemotherapy and almost died because of it but in her case it was nothing just a removal with a small incision in the clinic.

I thought others would have my back but they said i’m an AH and that left me wondering did i say something wrong?
