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

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

Today, I had to help one of my best friends while he was having a seizure. Earlier this morning my longtime girlfriend broke up with me. Oh, and also earlier this week I found out my other best friend has cancer. Lord take me now. FML

Have you had someone close to you diagnosed with cancer? While obviously the one with cancer is worse off, it can still be extremely traumatic for the people around that person. Think of the pain and suffering of your friend and how it would hurt you. How you wouldn't be able to do a damn thing to help them get better or ease their pain. It's a horrible feeling.

I agree, number 39. Cancer is hell for both the one who's got it and their loved ones. And by the way, number 32, OP isn't being a self-centered *****. But I've got a feeling you might be.

Your right that is so awful. I mean embarrassing you like that is so much worse then your friend who has CANCER . I don't know where you get the strength to carry on with your life. I just hope That your friend with CANCER can help you get through this rough patch. Hey do me a favor unless your the one who lost your hair and is surviving from CANCER don't post an FML just saying

Yeah, shut the **** up. I'm sure that if the FML was, "I have cancer. FML" you guys would whine about how the FML is boring.

No I'm not one of those idiots that complains about every FML posted, but any idiot that complains because an elderly women mistook a bald girl as a boy. Is just stupid when your friend suffers from cancer so severe that she needs chemo

You guys shut the **** up. Drinkmoxie has a great point. All the OP has to deal with is a bit of embarrassment from her grandmother who might have made an honest mistake. It's her friend that is going through the hell of cancer. Things could be so much worse for the OP.

You've probably have never had ANYONE close to you be diagnosed with cancer. Think for a moment about how you wouldn't be able to do a thing to help them get better or ease their pain. While obviously the person diagnosed if off a whole lot worse, it's a horrible feeling to experience for that person's loved ones.
