Dear Alex,

 I recently found out I had multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. I told my friends at school I had cancer and they didn't believe me. they said I was doing it for attention. I sort of drifted away at school and now I don't talk to anybody at school. I hide away in the computer room at breaks and lunches. because of this, I've lost a scary amount of weight. in my old friendship group, one of my old friends is being cast out. I want to be friends with her because she still texts me but she lives in fear of the others. I do too I guess. what should I do?

Dear Ash, 

oh my gosh.. why would people think you were doing that for attention.. that's barbaric.... I can't even.. sigh.. people these days. I don't want to say sorry in this even though I wish I could live where you lived and be your friend. Not because you have cancer but the fact that your friends would treat you like that after you told them you had it.. What I would do? I would ask her if she wanted to still be friends.. that you basically don't have anyone right now and you wish that you guys were.. and see where it goes from there c: I really hope you well. Please take care <3
