Today, after recently discovering that I need a bone marrow transplant, my girlfriend got tested to see if she could be a donor. When the results came back with a negative match, she blurted out, "Oh thank god." FML

Today, my doctor informed me that the tests we've been doing the previous months show no sign of leukemia. I was just about to express my relief when he casually followed up with, "Never mind, there's still a lot of other blood-related diseases we need to look out for." FML

Today, my girlfriend tells me she missed her period this month. I felt excited until she said, "I will let you know the results of the paternity test." I was not aware we needed a paternity test. FML

Today, I was hanging with my mates when we found an old pregnancy test. Since I’m a guy, we thought it’d be hilarious if I took it. It came out positive, so we were roaring with laughter. That is, until someone looked up why. Turns out, I might have cancer. FML

Today, my boss told me his cancer test results came back positive. I congratulated him and asked how he planned to celebrate. It turns out a positive cancer test result is a bad thing. FML

Cold open

Today, I visited my ex-girlfriend's house. I saw her mother and asked, "Hi! Have you recovered from that nasty cold that you had for so long?" She said, "I don't have a cold," to which I smiled and said, "That's great to hear!" Turns out she has lung cancer instead. FML

She still got tested. I think she would have gone through with it if she was indeed a match, but anyone (including myself) would be dreading the surgery.

It was a nice gesture that she tested to see if she could, but that wasn't really a proper response, even if she was afraid to go through with the procedure. Good luck finding a doner OP!

I'm sure she would have followed through with it if she could have. It is an extremely painful process, and there are very few people who actually want to go through that.

I actually understand where she's coming from bc I'm sure shed be happy to help but getting bone marrow drawn is supposed to hurt like a MF

She was terrified but still willing to go through it for you. She's a keeper.

I don't know, guys...If it were my boyfriend who was seriously ill, I know I'd be devastated to find out that I couldn't help. Sure, I'd be scared about the pain, but I'd rather that than lose him...

It was very tactless of her to have blurt that out, but her relief was understandable. Her willingness to do something for you that terrifies her is a really good sign.

She woulda done it, for you, but is relieved she gets to miss out on a huge needle piercing her bone and sucking out the marrow. She was terrified of that, but she woulda done it. FOR YOU.
