I never understood why people gushed all over her just because she had cancer. An illness isn’t an excuse.
exactly -— I’m a survivor of a very severe carcinoma, and I was absolutely nauseated at how they exploited her illness for political ends!!!
I didn’t expect any extra sympathy or assistance or advancement or accolades from strangers or even from people who were not already very very close to me and neither do most *decent* people battling cancer..... the idea of turning one’s illness into a public campaign spectacle for political gain is disgusting, and that’s what “Saint Elizabeth” and her coterie did!
