Wasn’t it alluded to though with all her nosebleeds? I swear she has one every episode.

It was talked about more in the plane crash two-parter, but I don’t remember it coming up in any of the MotW’s aside from Elegy. I always thought it would have made more sense to have at least some brief mention of it every episode with Mulder checking in on how she’s doing

[Penny Lane]

I remember her having nosebleeds quite often and she wasn’t in Zero Sum at all because she was in the hospital. I can only recall a couple episodes since she found out where it wasn’t talked about or alluded to.

Bill is getting on my nerves with the implication that Mulder isn’t supportive of Scully throughout this. She’s the one who chose not to accompany him. And she chose not to tell him that her condition worsened.

[FrellingTralk]

Oh yeah I definitely wasn’t a fan of Bill

[Penny Lane]

Scully is choosing not to talk to people about what she’s going through. And it’s really annoying that she didn’t defend Mulder wtf. Her cancer is personal but Mulder is supposed to be the one person she trusts most and she can’t even tell him she’s dying.

[FrellingTralk]

Scully has always been very closed off sadly and not great at opening up

[Penny Lane]

CAN SHE CHANGE OMG. I get so frustrated with her sometimes.

[reason to believe]

Yeah that’s how Scully is.

[Penny Lane]

I can understand her, especially since she's at death's door. I can imagine the fear and hopelessness she must be feeling. I just want her to find a way to communicate things to Mulder since she gets a lot of her strength from him.

[FrellingTralk]

Even in season 10 she closes down at first after her mother dies, she wants to shut her mind off to it by going straight back to work, even when Mulder is trying to get her to see that that’s not the answer

[Penny Lane]

That’s so true. Ugh so there’s no hope for me lol.

[FrellingTralk]

[Penny Lane]

Well that’s intense.

[reason to believe]

Ooh I feel that look!

[Penny Lane]

That would have been a perfect moment for them to kiss.
