I was never a Leah Van fan, but she’s a trooper, wasn’t aware she had cancer

I’ve heard her on the radio and think she is not good at her job. I think we all agree there.

But what I didn’t know is all the stuff she’s been through:

- got diagnosed with leukemia at 15, after a visit with her pediatrician, it was a surprise diagnosis
- had to basically live in a childrens hospital for a year going through chemo
- she basically had to live her life after that like we all lived Covid: masking, not being around people or going in public, had to be in rooms with filtered air, etc., and this was when nobody else was doing it so she was an outlier/seen as a weirdo
- at 4 years old, lost her dad to pretty much the same leukemia she was diagnosed with 11 years later
- had to give up her high school sports after diagnosis

And I’m def not one to be the “hey don’t criticize someone because they had a hard past.” But it’s just something I wasn’t aware with her and her life. Again, I think you can criticize someone if they aren’t doing a good job. Just figured I’d pass this along.
