To be upset and disappointed he didn't ask

So I have been feeling run down and other symptons worsening so GP arranged a blood test. A message was left on answer phone for me to call doctors for result. I discovered this at the weekend so had an anxious wait. Dh knew I had message.
Turns out one of my tests was borderline so feeling relieved.
Admittedly last night was busy but dh never asked me how I got on.
Aibu to have expected this.

How come you didn't just tell him the result? Unless there's a bigger issue with him not caring about you, I don't understand why you'd make it into some kind of DH test and get upset when you should be glad about the good news. Course it'd be great if he'd asked but it was a busy night and things get missed, even important things. Or he might have been waiting for you to say, figuring you'd tell him when you were ready.

(sorry you're feeling ill though, hope it gets sorted soon. maybe your anxiety about the result needed somewhere to go, which may have contributed to your upset?)

Yes. I think you are right pink we have had lots of bereavement in the last few years. My siblings have struggled so felt unable to share with them.
Not sure why I didn't tell him Guess I was distracted after a difficult day with kids.

And yet you're complaining that he didn't ask you? It works both ways. If it's important to you, you tell him. Straightforward communication - it's fab & leads to far fewer LTB scenarios on Mumsnet!
