Today, my mother in law basically said I deserve my breast cancer, all because I declined to take part in one of her "March Against Cancer" events a while ago. I guess donating money to cancer research instead of going on a meaningless march really messed up my karma. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that my mother, who's been against me seeking treatment for my cancer, has been going to different churches and charities to get donations for her "poor ailing daughter." I've not seen a dime of this money, and my mom just tells me to pray my cancer away. FML
Today, my sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. My mother then confided in me that she suspected it was a prank to get more money from our family. FML
Today, a cashier asked me if I would like to donate to breast cancer research. Since I have already made my donations this month, I politely declined. The cashier snorted and said, "Maybe you'll feel differently if someone you love got cancer." I'm a two-year survivor. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom. Apparently, my seeking medicinal treatments for my cancer is blasphemous. According to her, I should just pray my cancer away. FML
Today, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, enduring months of tortuous chemo, having painful radiation treatments and having had my tubes tied, I realized I’ve become the butt of an incredibly cruel cosmic joke. I got pregnant from the one-night stand I had to celebrate beating cancer. FML
Today, my mom called me a "heartless bitch" for eating the last Hot Pocket. This is coming from a woman who, just last week, faked having cancer to get out of a speeding ticket. FML
Today, I saw a Facebook post from my mom about my cancer, how she’s exhausted caring for me, and quit her job to be by my side, blah blah blah. The woman hasn’t set foot in my house in 11 months after I got a restraining order against her, and my "cancer" is a mole I’m getting removed next week. FML
Today, my mom had a tantrum and screamed at me over my use of bronzer. She called me a selfish bitch and claimed that I'm somehow slowly giving myself skin cancer. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her about my terminal cancer diagnosis. She responded with, "What makes you think I care at all?" before hanging up. FML
Today, my mother told me I'm going to get lung cancer. Because she smokes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Im so sorry Op, my aunt and step mom had breast cancer, my stepmom just had her breast removed in Jan - so far they are doing awesome. Keep trying to be positive, be with people who support you, and try to limit time with your MIL, you dont need negativity or people like that right now.

That's terrible, I hope your mom sees what you did was important too. I hope the best for you as well.

**** cancer and don't listen to your mother because donating is a lot better then a race but a streamer I watch on twitch raised over 1,700 dollars going straight to breast cancer

When you are around her and talking about your cancer you could add, "that I supposedly deserve, according to some people." She will eventually feel bad and ashamed. It serves her right!!

What an awful thing of her to say. How dare she insinuate that, especially since you donate directly to the research. And even if you didn't, who on earth says they deserve it? My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she beat it a few years later. I hope you beat that breast cancer OP!! I hope you'll receive much more love and strength from your loved ones during this time. I'm rooting for you!

So her March doesn't even bring in money for a good cause? What the hell is the point of it then?

OP. that's awful. Anyone who did cancer events for the right reasons would be horrified to hear her say sch a thing. Sounds like she goes to those events just to convince people she's a good person, which clearly she is not. On a side note, not all cancer walks are equal. I signed up for one, where you had to commit to getting 100 bucks in donations OR pay it yourself. I was in college and impressionable, ok? I was worried though, as that's a LOT of cash when you're living on ramen. Then they raised it to 150 after I'd signed up. Then it turns out the "walk" was a 12 hour overnight marathon outside in february in the midwest. In the rain. And we were also all obliged to buy prizes and sell raffle tickets for them to raise more money. EXCEPT that they had us do this "walk" around a track and field track 20 minutes outside of town. The only people who could have ever, ever seen us or been there were the other people taking part. Not like it was as spectator event. They literally wanted us to walk around in circles from 8 pm to 8 am, in the rain, outside, in 40 degree weather, 20 minutes outside of town selling raffle tickets to each other after having already pledged 150 bucks each. I left at 3 am. My bullshit meter maxed out.
