i'm sorry but it's not dramatic at all. whatever the outlook, hearing a doctor tell you that you have cancer when you're 21 is scary and awful. it's amazing the mental gymnastics some of you are doing to justify being so nasty about this whole situationThis is a bit dramatic. Yes it’s ‘cancer’ but it’s not severe/likely to do much harm to her lol. It’s just a massive wake up call
but do you think it's not nasty to have been joking about cancer for all this time? this thread is just going in circles nowi'm sorry but it's not dramatic at all. whatever the outlook, hearing a doctor tell you that you have cancer when you're 21 is scary and awful. it's amazing the mental gymnastics some of you are doing to justify being so nasty about this whole situation
She was like 17… sorry but I don’t feel any less sympathy just because she made ‘jokes’ when she was a child. I doubt she was thinking she’d actually get cancer at the age of 21. She probably thought if anything happened, she’d be old anyway.but do you think it's not nasty to have been joking about cancer for all this time? this thread is just going in circles now
what i'm saying is EVERYONE has bad/unhealthy habits that they participate in with the 'it won't happen to me' attitude. olivia spoke about sunbeds a lot when she was much younger, and had a way smaller platform. you can't deny that since getting older and growing online, she's moved away from 'branding' herself with sunbed use. the girl 100% knows that she's made offhand comments 4 years ago about getting skin cancer from beds, i just think the last thing that's productive in this situation is for everyone to be stating the obvious to criticise her when she has literally just opened up about actually having cancer. literally all i'm saying is i just think people should hop off and give her a moment to speak about it in her own time before jumping down her throat about it the second she's come out about it saying they have no sympathy, she did it to herself, she was irresponsible etc. like she absolutely knows already just give it a restbut do you think it's not nasty to have been joking about cancer for all this time? this thread is just going in circles now
has Olivia actually said the exact type of cancer it is?My auntie has the exact cancer she’s got and hers was from using the sun beds/hiring them to be at her house and going on holiday using literal oil to sit and bake in the sun from sunrise until sunset. They do a minor operation where you’re awake to remove the cancer and then send it off to a lab. She’s had several of them removed from her face/legs/chest.
Do you also have no sympathy for people who eat McDonalds, drink alcohol, consume MSG and processed foods, eat a lot of red meat etc.? Sooo much of what we do in our every day lives causes cancer and I guarantee you also partake in an activity which is deemed risky. Compassion costs nothing!Don’t think it’s that insensitive, I have very little sympathy for her and hope this gives her the kick up the ass she needs. Very insensitive of her to constantly say, “I don’t care if I get skin cancer i need to be tanned” on her very large public platform. The way she used sunbeds and spoke about using them was so so irresponsible, using sunbeds really rubs me the wrong way as there is literally no need for it and everyone knows how much it increases your chances of skin cancer, doesn’t make sense but it makes me angry that people will be so nonchalant about them whenever so many people can do everything right and still be absolutely ravaged with cancer and people like Olivia are not only disregarding their own health but nearly promoting it to their followers. Anyway moral of the story just fucking fake tan lol
poeple are totally choosing yo miss this fact too. she doesn't even have melanoma wShe has Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), not caused by sunbeds it’s a gene mutation
this is a really bizarre way to view someone having cancer. i watched her video, i'm aware she has a really good prognosis and likely won't need treatment outside of surgery, but that doesn't make it not upsetting and scary to hear you have cancer at 21 and it certainly doesn't make her undeserving of sympathyI think some of you don’t understand how skin cancer (and specifically the type of skin cancer Olivia has) is very different to other types of cancer. It’s not something that she will have to live with for the rest of her life that will eventually kill her. She will have an operation to remove it, and that will be it. She will be cancer free. And in a very high percentage of cases it doesn’t grow back. That’s the end of that. Yes it’s scary to hear those words but it’s not like she’s dying or she’s now going to be really sick. So yes I can understand why she’s come online extremely blasé or why some people are saying they don’t really want to give her the time of day on this.
It's a gene mutation which occurs after birth, so it could easily be from her sunbed use. It's thought to be caused by skin injury, so sun burns which she could have easily got from her sun bed use could have caused it. No way to know for sure though, could have been from any other sort of skin injury.She has Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), not caused by sunbeds it’s a gene mutation
she hardly jokes about cancer, I doubt she finds the thought of cancer funny, even before she was diagnosed. she may have said some things about about sun beds and moles in some past videos which were in bad taste but why is everyone acting like she finds the idea of cancer funny? its suuuuch a bad take, she's just been diagnosed and people are saying 'she deserves it,' 'her fault for going on sunbeds' etc she's 21 years old she must be so so so terrified. I swear the internet makes everyone so desensitised its horrific to see...but do you think it's not nasty to have been joking about cancer for all this time? this thread is just going in circles now
This! Like yes it’s commonly caused by a gene you’re born with but it can mutate when your skin is damaged like from a burn or sunbeds so she probably did speed up the process but it can also start at the point of a vaccine from scarring and she said it was where she got the vaccineobviously it must be horrible having had people commenting on her video saying she deserves cancer for the sunbeds, no one deserves cancer - it does bother me though that shes posted her most recent tiktok when she’s clearly uneducated about the subject, saying it wasn’t caused by sunbeds and it’s a gene you’re born with, but it’s a mutation which is caused by damage to the skin (like a burn) - like i say, i hope she’s okay and the surgery gets rid of it completely, but i just wish that she wouldn’t say things like that
i'm sorry but it's not dramatic at all. whatever the outlook, hearing a doctor tell you that you have cancer when you're 21 is scary and awful. it's amazing the mental gymnastics some of you are doing to justify being so nasty about this whole situation
A lot of you are being a bit dense and nobody is saying she deserves it here or at least I’m not defending that but loads of you are policing what people say unless it’s ‘omg I feel so bad for her’ that’s not what this thread is for so YES you are being dramatic. Olivia shouldn’t be joking about cancer because people are actually dealing with severe stages of it from sunbeds and life humbles you very quickly and that’s a fact. If that’s not empathetic enough for you you can simply log off.So she would only deserve empathy if it was something “that will eventually kill her” or “severe/likely to do her harm”? WHAT
