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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother told my little sister and me that she has breast cancer to make us feel sorry so that we would clean our rooms. She is perfectly fine. My little sister still thinks that "mommy is going to die". FML
Today, we found out my mother-in-law faked her terminal cancer diagnosis to guilt us into getting pregnant, so she could meet her first grand baby “before it's too late.” In no way can we afford this baby, we are already poor, so this will ruin us financially, yet she’s perfectly healthy. FML
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 mom came into my room, yelling at me about a pregnancy test that she found in my bathroom. My mom wouldn't believe me when I said it wasn't mine. Turns out my sister bought the test, threw it under my bathroom cabinet, and now she won't admit to the prank. She thinks this is hilarious. FML
Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML
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
Today, my friend (she's 14) said she had lung cancer. This made me and my other friend very worried for her, but now we know she was faking it since when she was "at the hospital" she was at a friend's house, and her mom came to the school to confirm she was faking the whole thing. FML
Today, my sisters and I pitched together nearly $500 to send my mom to the spa for Mother's Day. We put the printed sheet with her info into a little box with our card on top. When she opened it, she freaked out and started hugging my dad. Turns out he switched the cards and took all the credit. FML
Today, my housemate revealed her supposed loss of function of her arm was all a lie. I spent hours in the ER with her and had to go to work the next day. Last time she lied about cancer. I'm stuck sharing with her for another 7 months. FML
Today, we buried my mom. I walked past my sister's husband just in time to hear him mutter: "Hope the fire's nice and hot down there, you old hag." I told my sister. She wouldn't believe me and accused me of trying to start drama. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Pay for all the treatments anyway. Cancer is horrible.

this one kid at my school told everyone that his mom died of cancer, and the week after, she was at school to pick him up. :/

It's crazy how people joke about it. My dad died of lung cancer last year and my husband is in remission from lymphoma. The people who lie about cancer are ass hole jerks!

This is the second time in a couple of weeks that a prank has been associated with cancer on FML. I was just diagnosed with cancer and all I've asked for is emotional support. I can't be treated until my baby is born, due to my chronic illness that makes me too weak. I'm only 11 weeks into my pregnancy and I have to hope that the cancer won't spread more than it already has. Shame on anyone for using cancer as a prank!

I concur, 87. I've lost a lot of family members to cancer and it isn't something to be joked about. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope your husband pulls thru.

Man you mother sounds like a cold hearted bitch.

BYeah that's possible - I would say it depends on the daughter though. I once knew someone who told her family that she had a new boyfriend who was "deployed" to Afghanistan so they never met him... Then, a few months later she called asking for money because he was KIA and she had to pay her bills - turns out the guy never existed and it was a ploy for money/attention from family and friends. Some people will say anything, especially if drugs are involved. I'd say the right thing to do is pay for he treatment or bills DIRECTLY if you're really suspicious, just dont fork over cash

The mother could also be rather unintelligent. Who knows

Your moms a paranoid bitch
lolfood 24
Your mom is a complete dumbass. Who the **** would fake having cancer? Also, wouldn't your sister have paperwork and proof of her cancer?

While is immorally wrong to fake such a thing it does happen. A few years ago a lady in the uk faked that her daughter had cancer, shaved the poor kids head and everything. She made so much money out of it. Eventually she got caught because her doctor seen her on the tv and said no that little girl does not or never has had cancer. People like that are the scum of the earth.

Plenty of people have faked cancer to get money....

There was also a woman in the UK that faked cancer to get a free wedding. She didn't even tell her husband. He blew the whistle on her when she came clean after the wedding. Horrifying as it is, there seems to be a few people out there that have no issues with lying about such a dreadful disease for personal gain. That's not to say OP's sister-in-law is one of those, though.

35- Obviously the husband did not pay attention to the amount of money that wasn't being spent. He should have known something was wrong. Unless she spent the money on other things, in which he should have noticed new things and the wedding being paid for.

wannabemom;
BellaBelle_fml 23
wannabemom; I understood it as the woman claimed she had cancer and wouldn't be able to pay for her wedding due to the cost of treatments. So people felt sympathy for her and donated money to fund her wedding. They probably thought they were helping a very sick or dying woman have the wedding of her dreams while she was still healthy enough to enjoy it. She preyed upon people's tender hearts for her own selfish gain.
reapy 14
You hit the nail on the head BellaBelle. She pretended she was dying and got the wedding of her dreams donated. I think the really awful part is that her husband believed that she was dying.
gracehi 33
I think that she also used it as a ploy to get the guy to marry her. They had broken up before and got back together after she told him she had cancer. To me that's even sicker than pretending to have cancer.

Wasn't there a woman in America that posted a blog about how she had cancer and couldn't pay for her treatments, in order to get breast implants? Maybe that was a movie..
ICastillo 25
Your mom is a jerk.....it sucks that the poor girl with cancer has to deal with a dumbass.
rsunshine2020 13
That's so terrible, nobody in their right mind would pretend to have cancer. I hope all goes well though.
christyxbee 15
Only the ones that aren't in their right mind though. Hence her comment.
Riseagain16 7

traveler_ghost 12

anythingmustbe 18
Yes because people chose to get cancer, risk their life so they can get more money. Sorry for your sisters bad news hopefully she will survive.
