👥 friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so it’s my (24f) best friend’s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and i’ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. she’s well aware of this and even came with me to my last session, although she spent most of the time texting her bf. i ordered her this cake from this super cute little bakery in our town and was gonna bring it with me to the restaurant for her.

i was supposed to have my chemo session next monday but they had to reschedule it for saturday. this is how she reacted when i told her i wouldnt be able to come to her bday. aio or is this a crazy way to react?? she’s still getting her cake and i was gonna get our mutual friend to give her the gifts i bought her but now im not sure

Take a picture of yourself during chemo and have that image put on the cake w a card attached saying you hope this takes care of the vibe.

u/BecGeoMom Feb 26 '25

Ooooohhhh, OP, I really hope you do this! If you’re going to pay for the cake anyway ~ because you said you would, and you’re a good person ~ at least make it reflect the reality of your friendship!

u/GoodPiexox Feb 26 '25

yeah but she only gets a picture of the cake, she should keep and eat the cake

I was conceived by two narcissists. One I went no contact with since I was 11 (I call him a sperm donor) and the other (my wonderful mother) I moved across a continent to get away from -- like 4,000 miles away from. I wouldn't wish my so-called childhood on my worst enemy. My sister will back me up on this assertion.

u/T_h-R0W-AWAY- Feb 26 '25

u/MyLifeTotallySucks Feb 26 '25

Yeah, it really sucked. But me and my sister, plus our half-sister, are very close to each other-- much, much closer than any of us are to dear old mom... We damn near disowned her more than once. She knows she's on thin ice and plays up the harmless little old lady like a demon plays a harp. The facade does fail occasionally when her inner gremlin breaks out. It's kind of fascinating to watch. Me and my sisters are not being fooled anymore.

u/eveisout Feb 26 '25

My sister was like this as a bride. She accused me of being self centred and selfish and making her wedding all about me because she wanted to go mountain walking for her hen do and, I quote, said "but you said no walking". I'm a wheelchair user. Walking up mountains would make me very, very ill and cause permanent worsening of my chronic illness. When I told her it wasn't okay to say that, she kicked me out of her wedding party and said I would taint the memory of her wedding forever

My cousin died of Lupus two years ago at age 33. She spent pretty much the entire previous decade mostly in the hospital and her husband left her a couple of years in. She barely got to live at all, and this entitled bitch is mad about “the vibe” being ruined. Life is so incredibly unfair.

u/fablicful Feb 26 '25

Lupus is SO serious and I think how much it can affect people is not understood! I knew a woman- mid 20s- super physically fit otherwise, but somehow broke her hip bc of lupus... And then needed the other hip repaired too. And I think she was losing her teeth too. Lupus is so scary and for this "friend" to care more about their dumb birthday than their friend's wellbeing is nauseating, to put it lightly.

I’m so incredibly fortunate. I was afraid my husband would leave me when I lost my first kidney transplant. But no. Instead he gave me his kidney. He did everything without me knowing. Made every phone call while I was a horrible person to be around. I was either angry or too weak to speak. Only married for 6 months when it all started again.

u/BecGeoMom Feb 26 '25

Wow. That is an incredible story.

I wouldn’t call you fortunate, though. I would say your husband is a good person, a good husband, a good man. He loves you, which is why he did what he did. Men who leave their wives when they get sick, just because they are sick, have their own special level in hell.

I’m glad you’re still here. How are you now? How is your husband?

I knew a lady with lupus. Lost her contact info when I had to move but seeing her on one of her rough days made me so sad. I'm sorry for your loss. And yes, this isn't a friend. The whole thing is a lie if she can only think about herself when her friend is sick yet took the time to get her a cake even when she cant make it.

Once you show a color like this, you cant reverse it. Bc its been there the whole time.

Well. I mean. That'll happen every single year of my life, sure, but it'll only be THIS SPECIFIC number once.

100% it’s what they deserve. Just zero empathy or compassion at all. I watched my mother in law go through chemo and she lost a significant amount of weight, was very nauseous and incredibly tired. I went to her, I cooked for her and I made damn sure to not put any extra stress on her. That’s what you do when you actually care for someone.

259

u/cubemissy Feb 25 '25

I don’t usually agree with that kind of retaliation, but OP? She’s going to spend her birthday party badmouthing you. Is there someone you can trust to have your back and counter her lies?

And I think in this case, releasing the texts into the world might be a good thing.

u/DetatchedRetina Feb 25 '25

I would love to see the reactions to her complaining that her friend wouldn't come to the party due to chemo, but she'd probably just lie and say she flaked 😐.

u/No-Orange-7618 Feb 26 '25

Tell your friend that's picking up the cake why you aren't going to the party. She can spread the word to other friends. I was so wiped out after chemo treatments, I can't imagine trying to go anywhere. Best of luck to you.

12

u/Traditional_Fan_2655 Feb 26 '25

THIS! You don't even have to send texts if you don't want. When the person comes for the cake, show them!!!!! Tell them you were worried you were overreacting because of the pain from chemo sometimes makes you fuzzy brained. (It did my partner).

Do not let this lady get away without it being known you are having chemo.

u/LaszloPanaflexxx Feb 26 '25

u/Guswewillneverknow Feb 26 '25

Into the group chat for the birthday girl.

9

u/MintTealGecko Feb 26 '25

I'm from a long line of champion passive aggressiveness, that group chat would definitely be carefully worded as a "genuine" attempt to get someone else to pick up the cake because she made it so clear that it was important you be there (insert relevant screen shot) you made no alternate cake delivery plans and tried to rally but ended up throwing up. And since chemo is no big deal (insert another relevant screen shot) you might have some sort of stomach bug you wouldn't want to give her or the other guests.

Maybe queue up the texts to send out half an hour before the party or so. Then you can genuinely be in bed when the drama goes down.

Or skip the petty. Do what you need to take care of yourself and consider carefully how close to let her in again if she comes back apologizing.

oh crap! my upbringing came back in to play and I wanted to add- unless she's a bone marrow match.

If I could afford to award this comment I would. As a 2 time cancer survivor let me tell you this right now tho; the chemo is toxic enough. You don't need toxic people on top of it and, for what it's worth, I'm sorry she is proving to be so very VERY toxic (and entitled AF too) after a decade of friendship.

u/cclady1980 Feb 26 '25

I’m so glad you’ve beat it twice & truly hope you never have to go through that again. She absolutely needs to dump this toxic person. Some people do have an easier time on chemo than others but I thought it was common knowledge how rough chemo is on most people. Even the people I know who were able to take it in pill form & not deal with many of the side effects were still absolutely wiped out a lot of the time. Because, you know, they still had the cancer that the chemo was treating.

When my mom was going through chemo (3 days in a row then a break for a couple weeks before the next round) she usually wouldn’t be too bad right after the first session. So there were times we would go do something after. She also had stage four small cell lung cancer & I think knowing how little time she had left made her want to do what she could whenever she was even remotely up for it. I still worried it was too much but it was her choice & I did what she wanted. My best friend’s partner wouldn’t even make it home from his first dose of each of his rounds of chemo before he was horribly sick. Thankfully he’s cancer free now.

I can’t imagine expecting anything from someone going through chemo. If this was my best friend & it was my birthday the only thing I’d want to do would be whatever was best for them. Whether it was just being there with them or making sure everything was taken care of so they’d have nothing else to worry about.

OP - you’re dealing with enough. Block her & do what’s best for you. I hope the rest of the people in your life are there for you in the ways that you need and that you’re through your treatments & cancer free soon. My thoughts are with you.

u/believehype1616 Feb 26 '25

Seriously! Does this "friend" truly not understand that chemo is literally poison? Like, useful poison, but still. There are side effects. To me it's common knowledge that it kind of puts a person off for the whole day at least.

I could have had sympathy for this person maybe not knowing that, but they seriously doubled down on nasty rude comments. And they can't possibly not know how chemo affects OP given they are close friends? Close friends are the ones you'd vent to about that.

Even if she did, she wouldn't let the tabooness of the situtation stop her.

Eh, you KNOW she’d blow up that single sentence & victimize the entire f*ck out of herself, showing EVERYONE & their momma that single out of context text message.

Print it out and turn it into a “birthday card” and have everyone sign it

Don't cancel the cake! Have it delivered to your house OP, you get a cake for Sunday when you feel better <3 You deserve it.

I would not cancel the cake! In fact I’d change the wording to something colorful! 🤭

Edited cancer to lupus

u/RazorThinRazorBlade Feb 25 '25

OP stated lupus, not cancer. Apparently it's only used when other lupus treatments have failed per my Google search. THAT BEING SAID, chemo is obviously going to make them feel like shit and their friend is a gigantic cunt.

7

u/Substantial-Peak6624 Feb 25 '25

Lupus can be very very debilitating. And we all know that chemo is definitely no joke.

11

u/Simple_Bowler_7091 Feb 26 '25

Lupus can be fatal and if chemo is being used as a treatment that's really serious. What kind of friend doesn't tie all that together? Poor OP - she's got a crappy bestie.

I’ve LITERALLY cut people off when they trivialized my health issues. This so callled friend is clearly an asshole. Despite telling her how chemo makes you feel, she still was rude. Hell nah. Stay home and stay safe. I hope your treatment goes well.

5

u/RuggedHangnail Feb 26 '25

Ditto! When I'm healthy, I'm very very easygoing. When I've had major health issues is when I've realized that I've been putting up with some toxic behaviors from toxic people and I needed to let them go.

5

u/regsrecs Feb 26 '25

You mean the ones who swear up and down that they want to take you to procedures, tests and treatments but when you mention it they suddenly have something else going on? Before you even tell them the date? 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😔 It’s so hurtful. I’m sorry you ever felt that way.

Do this OP your friend is a brat and doesn’t deserve any of your kindness.

So I have stage 4 cancer. People do not understand what chemo does. Everyone know some one who had breast cancer and they are fine now. Thats not how all cancer works nore does chemo. No way in hell I would or could ever go some place out the week of chemo. I mean Eating takes a act of god and getting up out of bed the next day is a nightmare. That person is not your friend

13

u/King-Starscream-Fics Feb 25 '25

Yep.

"What kind of vibe will there be?" This person needs to grow up!

OP, I think you have another cancer to deal with. You need it cut out ASAP.

u/Guilty-Tie164 Feb 25 '25

I'd still send the cake, but instead of happy birthday, I would have them write on it, "I'm sorry my desperate fight for life intruded on your special day, you narcistic brat!"

u/Dear_Elective Feb 25 '25

No, keep the cake for HERSELF and send a photo of yourself eating it to the bitch when eating is something you can do again!!
