Today, I brought my best friend to my uncle's birthday party. We were having a great time until my grandmother walked up to us and said to me, "You sure have a nice looking boyfriend." My friend is a girl. She has cancer and lost all of her hair due to chemotherapy. FML

Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML

Goodbye phone

Today, I was FaceTiming a good friend of mine from back home, telling her how good she looked and how happy I was to hear from her. My insanely jealous girlfriend snatched my phone and smashed it on the ground. I was saying my friend looked good because she'd just finished chemo. FML

Today, I took my grandma to the hospital to visit her estranged husband who she hasn't seen in years. After a thoroughly disasterous visit, we're waiting in the carpark and my gran strokes my face and tells me I have a lot of facial hair. I thought she was going to thank me. And I'm a girl. FML

Today, I completely shaved my head as a gesture for my boyfriend's mother, who was suffering from cancer and having a terrible time undergoing chemotherapy. Turns out she doesn't even have cancer, and my boyfriend thought I wouldn't have the guts to do it. FML

Forever Alone

Today, at my younger sister's wedding, my hospitalised grandmother called to ask if I have a boyfriend yet, both my parents wondered if I'll ever get married, and when the 13-year-old next to me caught the bouquet, his father yelled from the back to give it to me instead. FML

Today, my long-term girlfriend broke up with me because my hair "falls out" and I "will definitely be bald soon", even though it's not that bad. The same girl who I supported through her chemotherapy and gave her promises that I would stay with her no matter how she looked. FML

You can't hurry love

Today, my grandma wasn't feeling well, so I went to her house to check on her. After about 20 minutes, I knew she was feeling better when she looked at me and said, "So, do you have a boyfriend yet? I pray every night that I get to live long enough to see you with a boyfriend." FML

Omw, some people can be so heartless! I'm not talkin bout the gran! Old ladies can't see very well and its not her fault, The poor gurl, I just wanna cry! My dad has a brain tumor and my uncle and only biological aunt died from cancer! People cancer is not a joke and its not funny. There's a boy in my class he says that he and his mom are thinking about going to funerals just for free food. I nearly punched him. Point is, its serious and it really sucks to not know if someone is gna be there the next week or not

Water with lemons? I am quite sorry to tell you, but that will definitely not help cure cancer!!! There are many different therapies against cancer, but sadly they are not as easy as that and they often have severe side effects. Additionally, the cancer therapies might not even work because cancer often progresses and cancer cells are diverse, each cell has a different mutation and therefore responds to a different therapy. I hope your friend is still well and I personally think that your grandma did not mean to insult your friend, maybe her eyesight is not very good.
