It also serves to deflect attention away from the stark reality of her predicament: that she is in hot water because of her own actions, not due to some random health crisis thrown her way.

She’s not wholly inaccurate.
She just doesn’t realize that she is the cancer here.

Comparison fail. Cancer is not the natural consequences of committing a crime.

“I’ve described it to people as being diagnosed with cancer. I think that’s probably what it’s like. You just don’t know if you’re going to survive it or not.”
Except it’s exactly not like that, because you damn well know that you are going to survive. If you’re comparing someone’s literal survival to your experiencing the consequences of your actions, that’s a pretty fucked up equivalency.
I’m definitely not wishing this person would get cancer, but if she did get cancer, it would be perversely appropriate.
If she had spent years stealing and guzzling down carcinogens, it would be true - and she’d not be getting much sympathy, I suspect… and she’s not even remotely facing those kind of consequences.

Cancer isn’t generally something that people do to themselves.

As always, fraudsters of all stripes roll out the bogus health sob stories when it’s time to face the consequences.

Also, it really stinks because it sucks the life out of pleas from folks who have legitimate reasons to ask for help through social media.

Of course, these wouldn’t be as prevalent in a country with a civilized health insurance system.

Maybe she meant she feels like her host just got diagnosed with cancer, and radiation therapy starts tomorrow!
