How long have you known this person? Is this her normal persona? Does she regularly fish for compliments or feel insecure about herself? Is she at an age where she needs to feel good about herself and wants that support from others? Sorry about all the questions!

I don't think you're being overly dramatic and I can understand your feelings of hurt, especially since she seems to be aware of your health issues. It sounds to me (and I'm no expert so please take this with a grain of salt) that she is determined to stay young (you didn't mention her age) as long as possible and may have insecurities about her own health. It's great that she had a perfect scan -- whatever perfect might be! -- and takes no medication. As you said, good for her! I was a lot like her health-wise, but then along came osteoporosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and skin cancer. We've all been through that change in life, some just later than others.

I think your answer to her was just fine. Don't dwell on it, we all have "friends" like that. Such is life. Keep yourself surrounded by people who care about you, and about who you care!

Take care! 🙂

She’s not insecure just doesn’t have empathy for others. I’m not sure I’d be friends with her except for history. We’re both in 60s and in great shape (except my bones lol).
