Can you help me figure out what this book is?

I have this vague idea of a book I loved and read multiple times as a kid, but I can't remember what it was called for the life of me. It was about a girl who was very ill (cancer?) and when she was alone with her dolls, they came to life. If I remember correctly, it was never clearly stated if it was just imagined or real. I keep thinking it was something like Doll Hospital and she fixed dolls when she was in bed sick, but I couldn't find anything that seemed familiar searching Amazon. I'm sorry to be so vague. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

It sounds somewhat like the Velveteen Rabbit but that's a little boy and a stuffed rabbit who wanted to be real.

I presume you've already seen this one in your searches?

Unwell for a long time herself, Alison sets up a doll hospital where she can help others, and eventually goes into the hospital herself for an experimental treatment that might cure her once and for all.

From the review: ...

it isn't made clear whether the dolls' speech and actions are meant to be magically real, or just a lonely child's fantasies.
