Okay. Let's clear this up now. 60% of chemo patients lose their eyebrows. That means 40% do not. That's almost half. If we want to start talking about scammers. Simple. If they don't have a chemo pump or pic line in their upper arm. That's a red flag. NOBODY needs to tell you who their doctors are, what they take or what medical condition they have. Legally you can't even demand that info.
I dislike scammers 😡😡
Money isn't the answer 🤪
Fight like a Jessica? More lie and scam like a Jessica.
my grandpa died in 83, liver rupture and this tbh is just too toxic to even swallow
🤣🤣🤣🤣 now rot in Jail
GREETINGS FROM ESA! TRUST NO ONE BUT GOD!!
Glad she looks so great during cancer and chemo…… I have bald patches no eyebrows or lashes. Currently fighting ovarian stage 3 and this makes me sick……. no energy or great skin…. evil is what it is🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
So she impersonated a cancer patient and a law enforcement officer? Is she not in jail?!?
Karma may give her cancer.
These people are not nice at all to their own human people . I'm a mother of severe disabled child we work hard in order to support our special needs child .
If she has cancer she can’t get pregnant lol
The woman scammer looks healthy, Yes. BUT… Reading some of these comments by people who are just ill informed claiming every Cancer Patient looks unhealthy, thin, discolored, with all hair lost (including eyebrows) is just dumb generalization. I personally know Cancer Survivors who look normal, healthy and have not lost hair or ALL of their hair. I do know patients who are very sick and look thin, pale and have lost their hair. Cancer patients will react differently to even the same exact treatment. I had chemotherapy almost kill me, but I didn't lose ALL of my hair. I even gained a few pounds while on Chemotherapy. I am on Immunotherapy now (from 2018 to 2021)with no major side effects though a friend of mine was on the same drug and he was deathly sick from the side effects, so the same drug almost killed him. Some patients gain weight from the steroids given during treatment. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!
That stupid face of hers pisses me off.
I knew a very sweet boy who died at age 17 from colorectal cancer. This makes me so angry. Some people wow
My grandmother died from skin cancer😞 Seeing people use cancer for attention and money is disgusting. I hope all those nice people got their money back from this evil women.
The husband was already planning to divorce her he just needed a good reason 😂
I've been through Breast Cancer…….funny how she kept her eyebrows……and when you loose your hair you loose it ALL, EVERYWHERE!!
Be careful what you wish for
Unpopular opinion here but I wish I had cancer. Not trying to minimize the seriousness of cancer or make anyone angry, but I would be so happy if my doctor said "you have stage 3-4 cancer, you have about half a year or less to live".
I'm a 29 year old man and live in constant psychological distress due to being alone my entire life. (I'm also super bipolar, unmedicated).
I'm quite handsome. My body looks amazing because I've been bodybuilding for 2 years. I'm really funny and have a big heart….but I've never had a girlfriend. I've avoided people my whole life. No real friends, no real hobbies….nothing.
I just exist. I don't know how to interact with other people at this point because I was super isolated as a child, I never developed socially.
Because of my lonely/pathetic life, I developed bipolar disorder.
All I think about is death. I look forward to it. Terminal cancer sounds like a dream to me, as long as I could ride out the rest of my life in hospice on pain medication. I'm not a drug addict, but I'd rather be high on painkillers 24/7 than deal with the pain associated with most cancers.
Most people fear cancer, I seek ways to get it. I also seek heart disease, but that's a super slow set of diseases to acquire.
I don't want to outright kill myself either, because there is always that small sliver of hope that maybe one day a woman will love me. ðŸ’â€Â
Chemo burns? Surely she meant radiation burns. What a shitty human.
Rot in hell
The second woman who induced illness on her daughter to collect money is truly sick.
as a cancer patient, this just fucking pisses me off.
Its fucking end of the sane world
She so wanted attention.
But the doctors have been scamming cancer patients for years ðŸ¤â€Â
Never trust anyone with all those silly ass tattoos
Cringe
Shes hot asf
Shes innocent
she is deefinately going to hell
The muddled random ultimately rejoice because duckling reportedly spell under a crazy sort. aquatic, useless tornado
☄☄☄☄☄ðŸ™ÂÂ.
I have liver cancer it was stage3d I went with chemo the 3 shot almost kill me got real sick . I was very tired weak then they started radiation therapy 3 weeks straight I still weak what I mean is if I fall I can not pick my self up I work out and walk but I'm very tired when I'm done I'm stage 1 now I thank God for that but my kidney stage 3
This is why I never give unless it involved a death of a child.
No way she had cancer and looked dat good
What a loser
First I don't know how people hurt thier children to make money. If my daughter was in a bad health condition. I don't think my mind would think about posting stuff online.
if people like her actually get cancer, theyre screwed cuz nobody would believe them
Why did she do this for money or attention?
Oh, my goodness! Not only did she fake it all but she named a movement after herself. Can you imagine the narcissism?!!
Dont knock the hustle
If ur that attractive and still feel like u gotta DO something like this…she's got other issues
As far as my treatment went …never had a "chemo" burn. Lost my hair in a perfect circle due to the radiation tho
Having had brain cancer and surgery chemo radiation and resection all before age 25… This sort of sh** is the lowest of the low.
Her eyebrows say "Nope, no cancer".
you know hustlers gonna hustle.
Gee anyone heard of HIPPA
