I’m a 25 year old with the same diagnosis, and I hear this all the time, “you’re too young to be sick” almost as if I’m not allowed. Instead, some empathy would be preferable. Or no comment at all. I’ve undergone two craniotomy’s within the past year and I have every right to be here getting treatment like anyone elderly would be too. I never know how to respond to those types of comments.
