humorous (?) cute (?) cancer stories

Bubbles is visiting!!!  Good for you Diane.  I'm glad to hear you are improving.  I still chuckle when I think of your post that was so well written with the emphasis in JUST the right place.

Wow Barbe, that's a real conversation stopper......or starter I guess depending on the person. 

I wish I had something funny in my life to share.  Perhaps I just don't recognise humour.  Eh Barbe?

I bet that guy will think twice about who he's talking to in the future. We all see the daffodils. We know. Let the ladies come up to him, don't try to recruit them!

I bet he's told the story a number of times. I did smile to him on the way out.

Hey Barbe.......I was referring to the cinnamon bun thread where it 'took' me a while to realize what I'd said 'cause I didn't get the joke........right away.

I too hate being nabbed for donations (no matter what the cause) by being made to feel guilty.  I also like approaching people, if I choose to, to help out.

Another funny story came up Saturday when I went to Lowes Hardware for some yard pest (ant, and flea) treatment. I was wearing my t-shirt that said 'Fight like a Girl' with the pink ribbon at the end. There was an associate in the isle talking to another gentleman that I had to excuse myself to get by them. The other shopper asked me if I knew how to fight like a girl. I said 'I do, these are fake, I lost my real ones in the fight.'

Ooooh, Sheila, good one! As for you Sharon, until this minute, I thought you were just kidding! You were that funny without realizing it? You just kept burying yourself.....hehehehehhee

I just laughed myself silly at the mental image of having a "hickie head."  I think it was so sweet of the rep to send that package of products to you, Aussie Sheila.

During the time I was going through treatments in late '05/early '06, there was an auto salvage yard up the road from us that advertised "body parts" on the sign out front.  My niece and I had a good giggle over that one when she "kidnapped" me one Sunday afternoon to take me out for some fun.  We saw it as we drove past, and both of us having the twisted senses of humor that we do, both burst into giggles at the same time at the idea of going in and asking them for replacement parts for me.

My mom had BC years ago and used to use her "foob" to hurl at my dad to get his attention.  Dad was hard of hearing and Mom got tired of doing the "Honey . . . Honey . . . Honey!" thing to get his attention.  She said it was easier just to whip the foob out of her bra and chunk it at him.  Dad said he'd be sitting there, minding his own business, and suddenly have Mom's prosthesis land in his lap.

Barbe, nope, I wasn't kidding.  It was a good one though wasn't it?

Edit to add, where is your cinnamon bun story Barbe?  It is funny!!!

Don't know if this would be funny to you guys.. but it was just (two of those things) that  being on the receiving end I thought was funny,,

during my stereotactic biopsy the BS took extra care no to hit my implant.. and took him a while to get it into position.  all done I signed the discharge report, went home and immediately put ice on my boob (cause I didn't want any pain to take hold ) cause at this point I was so numb I didn't feel a thing.. I was numbed up so well, I didn't realize  i had given myself first degree Ice burns!..Yes people I was soooo dumb I dint use a cloth NOR did I remove after 15 minutes.. I just kept replacing  the ice when it melted....

couldn't have my lumpectomy until my boob healed.... day of surgery I went for needle localization (again carefully about the implant).. mammo took afterwords showed missed implant though not by much.. had surgery, got home rapped up.. and nexted day i realized my boob was a little more jiggly than what I am used to.. by time I had my follow up it was like a bowl of jello!.. and the Dr is poking it not understanding what had happened.. as he didn't fell any fluid (saline).. it turned out to be a very slow leak and was being held by to scar tissue around the implant  therefore it still felt like it was sort of contained.. it t two weeks for totally flatten out. (so it wasn't cut with a scapel. .. I still can close my eyes and see fingers poking and jiggling.. I was the first person he had that an implant was compromised.. no wonder he didn't know what happened..
