Two sisters make sense of life after cancer and the systems that leave siblings behind.
Kayla Crum is two years older than her sister Ella Beckett. But growing up, she says she sometimes felt like Ella was ahead of her.
Kayla says she thought her sister's cancer would bring them closer, but instead her sister seemed withdrawn, even grumpy. Kristin Long is an associate professor at Boston University.

Instead, blame the system that fails to recognize the need for additional support for the siblings of cancer patients.
