Be shocked because this actually happened today lol. I’ve been getting fertility sparing treatment for uterine cancer. The definitive treatment is a hysterectomy but I’ve been doing hormonal treatment instead in case I decided I wanted biological kids. Well I recently decided I don’t want biological kids so let’s just stop the treatment and yank the whole thing out. No more yearly (extremely painful) biopsies, no more periods, no more worry about going out of remission, and no more Pap smears!
The fuck up was the way I informed my doctor of this. Keep in mind she’s an oncology doctor and probably deals with dying people on the daily. Keep this in mind because I did not. The way I informed her of my decision was to say “I think I want to call it quits.” Cue silence and her eyes widening in shock. I quickly realized my mistake and blurted out “I mean I want a hysterectomy, I want to call it quits on the treatment!”
She was so worried and then so relieved. I could see her looking at my paperwork where it asks the suicide risk questions that I’d answered no to lol.
TLDR: tifu by making my doctor think I wanted to “call it quits” on life when what I really wanted was to stop fertility sparing treatment for cancer.
