So glad I'm not the only person with this opinion. Pretty sure I rolled my eyes so hard I sprained something the first time I saw a preview for it.

I don't think the show actually positions it as a burden and honestly I'm not sure where you're getting that

I'm pretty sure that's not the burden.

From Wikipedia: When Stella Abbott finds out her terminal cancer is cured, she is going to have to learn to live with all the choices she made when she decided to "live like she was dying". As she adjusts to her post-cancer world, she learns how her husband and family must also deal with the self-destructive choices they made to help Stella enjoy what they thought were her final years.

So the burden is living with the choices made when the impetus behind those choices turns out to have been erroneous.

That sounds like... the worst. It's so negative. It's like saying 'never take a chance because it might fucking backfire on you!!'

mte, especially to people who are terminally ill? really? "don't enjoy what's left of your life to the fullest what if it has consequences!!"

Sorry I know this is off topic but Lucy Hale is just cute as a button

Idk this show, but this secret and replies reminded me of another show where a very minor character was given a wrong diagnosis, and during the few days when he thought he was dying he did things like "send a copy of his ass to the irs".

I know there was an episode of House where something similar happened, although I don't think it was exactly that.

I remember the House episode. The guy sold his house and did a bunch of other stuff he never would have done, and then he tried to sue Wilson for telling him he had terminal cancer when he didn't (though later it turned out House had put him up to that.)

The show is more about how her parents hid their problems from her and that she got married thinking she was going to die soon. However, I get what you're saying, and I hate how shows use cancer as the big drama card while not showing some of the awful parts of cancer. There's no side effects and they can walk around. Lucy Hale's character looks bright-eyed and bushy-tailed under her headscarf.

+1, TV/movie cancer is always either "death" or "100% healthy". You don't get the much more common outcomes of "cured but not well" or "not terminal but chronically ill, possibly for decades".

It got cancelled so it cant be the greatest but lucy hale is great right
