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!

She obviously was going to do it if she was a match. She was just relieved because, who WANTS to ******* transplant bone marrow.

What. The. ****!!!! Dude! Get yourself a new goddamm girlfriend!! that shit is not ******* acceptable!! I am absolutely disgusted!!! and I can say this shit! I got a bone marrow transplant a few years ago. And I'm sorry, Friend, but you have a horrible ******* road a head of you.... I do wish you the absolute best of luck with EVERYTHING (yes you will get use to taking all the meds, no there is NOTHING to make the nausea from the chemotherapy or the radiation any less terrible.. ) i am so sorry. But something that WILL help you. Indescribably so; Surround yourself with people who truly do care about you and love you. and get rid of that bitch. With what you are about to faced with, you DO NOT need that ******* bull shit!!! How goddamm selfish can she be???? if she WAS a match she could SAVE YOUR LIFE!!! And if she WAS a match, the procedure to get HER bone marrow is so ******* easy.

She got tested, so she was probably going to do it if she had to. If someone I loved needed a transplant, I would get tested to see if I am a match. If I am not, of course I will be relieved, but sad. I am terrified of the hospital, and any time I don't have to go there, I am excited as Hell. How dare you judge OP's girlfriend when you don't even know her
