Weirdness- WWYD

So these friends of ours- good friends, known them quite awhile, they are from mrbunny's hometown.

Anyways they are sort of (how to nicely say this) alarmists. They go to the dr. for any little thing and no joke the husband is always out of work to go to dr. appts.  Granted there is so family history and she does have MS but even with that factored in they go to the dr.a lot.

Now apparently in some scan that the husband had last week they found something suspicious.  This was last week.  Yesterday he was prescribed an antidepressant because he was so depressed over the possibilities.  

They have two little girls and apparently they told the four year old that "daddy is very sick" and that's why they need to spend a lot of time with him.

They don't even know what the issue is yet.  It could be nothing!

Then today he goes to his/mrbunny's boss and tells him that the dr.'s found something on a scan and he might have to do chemo and drugs and all this.  They don't even know yet!

Am I being a completely callous biitch or is it not just a little odd that they are reacting like he's been given six months to live when they don't even know if it is anything to worry about yet.  It could be cancer, it could be a shadow.

I can understand being worried, I've been there.  But to get yourself so worked up into a tizzy when you honestly have nothing concrete to be worried about just seems a little ridiculous. 

Fuuck TTC - I'm moving on.

    Agreed, it seems ridiculous. Why put your kids through all that, and tell your boss about your personal medical condition?

    Seriously. Completely ridiculous. I can understand being concerned, but I would wait for confirmation before they start freaking everyone else out.

    This is my pet peeve in life. I seriously hate when people do this. My ILs LOVE to overreact and it drives me bonkers!!!! I agree with you 100%. I scan =/= cancer.

    And the anti-depressant after 1 week would warrant a serious side eye from me. Give me a beak.

    I though tit was common knowledge to not cry wolf.

    You are absolutely right, they are being ridiculous.  No reason to react that way, especially around their children, when they have no idea what the situation is.

    I agreewith you. There especially is no need to scare their kids when they don't know what's going on yet.
