I do not care if you have cancer, my child deserves your seat. A little backstory, about a

0:06.4

year ago I was diagnosed with cancer of the nasal cavity, Stage 2. The tumor was quite large,

0:12.6

thankfully benign. And benign might not be the right word since I'm translating this to English,

0:17.0

but more specifically it was contained, meaning it didn't spread into other tissue.

0:22.1

I apologize for gaps in my knowledge. To get it removed, I first had to undergo aggressive

0:27.6

chemotherapy to make it smaller. Thanks to chemo, I had severe alopecia, which is hair loss,

0:33.2

which made me, and most of my hair, even my eyebrows and eyelashes fall out. At some point I had to go

while shoving others aside to me. When I saw her, I knew it was going to be bad. She then stood next

1:29.9

to me and decided to talk to me. This was the conversation that followed, entitled mother.

1:34.3

Hey, could you let my kids sit down? Me. You mean me? Entitled mother. Who else? Me. Oh, I'm sorry,

1:40.8

but I'm on the way back from the hospital and entitled mother. So are we. Which is nonsense because

1:47.1

the stop was a few kilometers away from the hospital. My boy just broke his leg and we're coming

1:52.8
