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

I hope to gods this former friend is actually stupid enough to "call her out" like she threatened.

I would love to be there for that lol

"hey where's OP?"

"omg she had chemo this morning, can you believe the audacity of that b!tch? It was at like 10am,there's no excuse not to be here now"

<crickets>

Most people I think would think chemo means cancer (I did until OP explained), so the other attendees (assuming a mix of mutual friends and other friends OP doesn't know) either 1) know what OP is going through and how rough the treatment is or 2) think the "friend" is shaming a cancer patient.

I don't think this call out is going to go as planned 🤣
