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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend called and said she had great news. Turns out I've cured her of that illness she gets every month. 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
Today, I donated blood and the nurse said: "God blesses good deeds", when I get home, my mom tells me that we have to sell the house because we're broke. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend why period blood couldn't be saved and donated to the hospital for transplants. FML
Today, I found out via a Twitter post that my girlfriend is pregnant. FML
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
Today, my buddy told me he was going to get an HIV test at the health department. Without thinking, I told him to "think positive". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 think I'm closer with my best friend who is a girl than you are with your girlfriend. Sorry OP

Look at it this way, as much as she feared the pain, she would've done it if she was a match. Her slip of the tongue, though crass, doesn't change her intentions.

Hey, don't get too mad at her. They hurt like hell. I'm sure she wants to actually help, but she might be afraid of the pain. Like I would be.

Give her some slack. She obviously really wanted to help you, but it's an extremely painful process. Thank goodness for her. Hopefully you learn how to be a better boyfriend.

I am guessing she was willing to do it if she was a match but the surgery is extremly painful and she was probably filled with the fear of that.

Yea... Are you kidding me that surgery is painful after. And she may have a fear of needles.

Don't be too hard on her, it was nice that she even got tested but she must have been terrified because she would have probably have gone through with giving you bone marrow. Hence her exclamation.

I would be thankful too, bone marrow transplants are extremely painful. I don't think it's a lack of caring, she did get tested.
