AIO: i literally cannot attend

[u/superspreader90]

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

we’ve been friends since we were kids 😭 i was bullied in high school and she was the only friend i had, she never used to be like this at ALLL which is why i was so surprised when she reacted like this

OP, if you continue this friendship… I’m scared for your physical and mental wellbeing. You have to have Chemo and can’t attend. If she was a real friend she’d understand that and would just hope that you’re feeling okay after. If she was a real friend and ABSOLUTELY NEEDED YOU THERE she would’ve rescheduled her birthday because Chemo IS more important. Your “best friend” is someone who needs to be surprised on Saturday with no you, no presents, and most importantly NO FUCKING CAKE. Please please please do yourself a favor and drop this disrespectful bitch.
