One day, as Jessica Medinger watched her 10-year-old son struggle to fight his second battle with cancer, she felt compelled to take a picture and share it on Facebook with a message: “Life isn’t pretty, and cancer destroys a person.” The mom from Tomball, Texas, posted the photo of her “skin and bones” son on International Cancer Day after she carried him to the bathroom in a pair of Pull-Ups. Expecting backlash, Medinger defended her decision to share the photo in a paragraphs-long post.
