I Was the Worst Cancer Mom (narratively.com)

Great writing about a bad sad topic. But there's a worse cancer mom, it's the one who commoditises the cancer for likes on her socials and goes down Munchenhausen by proxy to keep the revenue flows going.

I guess worst was rhetorical. The author wasn't the best, but maybe they were the best they could be, all things considered.

(meth wasn't a great idea TBH)

For another take on the problem space, from the MD side of the fence, I recommend https://www.theguardian.com/profile/ranjana-srivastava -there is no crossover here, nor an attempt to subtract from the original authors writing: I just like reading this one.
