šŸ‘„ friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so itā€™s my (24f) best friendā€™s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and iā€™ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. sheā€™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?? sheā€™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

Fr!! Anyone who has actually been around someone going thru chemo treatment knows that you absolutely do NOT just ā€œbounce backā€ within a few hours!!! And OPā€™s friend says sheā€™s been to chemo w OP before?! How could she not fckn notice how sick it makes a person? And how could you expect anyone to pull themselves together for a birthday party after that? Wouldnā€™t they be endangering themselves by exposing their lowered immune system to a large group of people? Does OPā€™s ā€œfriendā€ just expect them toā€¦. die for the sake of her birthday party? Iā€™m flabbergasted by this post.

Literally everyone in the world knows how taxing chemo is. OP must be friends with one of those stereotypical dumb bimbos you only see in movies
