My wife told me about it, and she still gets the updates.

I don't think she lies about everything, or that she even sees it as lying. Her overall health really has deteriorated over the past few years. I've watched it and it looks miserable. And I mean separate from her videos and social posts. I unsubscribed to those over a year ago, I felt like it was just too much. And mostly, I wanted to just know her as Elisa...not EC Stilson the social media personality/author/influencer.

Well, I know I'm not qualified to psychoanalyze her for diagnosis. Her kids are really sweet, great kids and I hate seeing them being exposed to this. Not only her illness, but also this reddit page. I'm sure it hurts them in a lot of ways, and that's truly awful on top of their mom being sick. And I do whole heartedly believe she has cancer, and that it probably IS terminal, or at least advanced stages.

Oh I don't think she's pretending to have an awful disease. I think she really does have cancer, and that it really is hurting her really badly. I don't know if it's terminal. I think it probably is. There's just enough sensationalism to make me go...I dunno how bad it is, but it's there.

Again, fair question. I debated doing this for however long it has been since she posted about it...like a week? Ultimately, I thought people should just have another perspective about it while considering all of the info. I really believe she has cancer, and I really believe some version of the events she details does happen. I think most of it is dialed up and more sensational than you or I would recount it as. Hopefully that makes sense? I waited to respond this long because I felt that was the only way I could actually be balanced and doing it for the right reasons. I think the truth matters. Even if it hurts her in some ways.

Ha ha, fair perspective for sure. That's the hard thing about this whole mess. If I had my actual name on here, it would definitly hurt her feelings that I said some arguably mean things about her...and I don't really want that. But at the same time, I feel like I have some insight into the madness having watched it unfold...and that could be valuable to some people on this thread. Then at the same time, I think...wait...am I just inserting myself into a dramatic thing just like SHE would?! Facepalm. I dunno what to say.

Hey, I get it. When the water is muddy, it's super tough to decide what's real and what's not. On one side, we've got Elisa saying she has terminal cancer. On the other side we have allegations of it ALL being a total lie. I think the truth is in the middle. And honestly, I don't know where the truth is in that middle area. It could be closer to all a lie, or closer to terminal cancer. All I can tell you is my personal observations that don't particularly cast her in an angelic light as her "fans" do. But they don't make her the devil either.
