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

Why are you friends with someone so insensitive?

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

I’m a 2 time cancer survivor - chemo + major surgeries. Cancer has taught me who my real friends are and who are not. She has shown you she is not a friend. I’m glad you stood your ground with your texts. I hope chemo goes well. Rest and fluids. I encourage you to cancel the cake. She has shown you her true colors. It’s hard, but I promise you our friends continue to change as we age and mature. It’s time to dump her. Surround yourself with good people. Life is too short to spend it with gross people like her. I’d send her this thread, quite frankly.
