Name that tumor
Everyone around me needs to lighten up starting with me. I'm looking for a name for my tumor. I kinda like "Booby Trapped Bob". What do you think? Anyone have other fun tidbits to share?

I named mine blaster

I did not have a name for anything but I do like to say "journey", just like that in quotes. I think it is ridiculous that the word journey is related to this nightmare called cancer.
Hmm, seeing it written like this I cannot come up with a better word than "journey". I am going to go work on that.

PITA (pain in the a**)

my tumor is gone, along with my boobie, so I never thought of naming it. It's sitting in a jar somewhere.
-
I can't remember who it was that told me she referred to her bc breast as "Frankenboobie". That cracked me up!
((((HUGS)))

Didn't name it per se, but after everybody in my office heard about my diagnosis, to keep my tumor from being the "elephant in the room," I drew a sad smiley face on a yellow sticky note and put it over the tumor area at work. Everybody laughed and it lightened the mood. The cancer boob, however, was named lefty.

My tumor (not to mention my real boobs!) are gone, but I call my implants the Barbie Girls
Wahoo1 I love your name for the tumor!!

Love TIT RAT!
I've always liked Boobytrapped's screen name. Sums it up nicely.
I didn't have a tumor with DCIS so much as I had a group of calcifications, which I kept referring to as Aquarium Gravel.

Available in custom skin tones.

I didn't name my tumor, but I am short and while I was hairless, my son called me "Speed Bump". I loved it!
-
Didn't name mine either, but when talking with friends about what was going to happen next, my husband was explaining reconstruction to a friend of ours. He said "she's gonna have a rubber boobie in there!" (famous line from Meet the Fockers)

only problem was that George had a family

Bertha.

The Poopy Butts--currently there is a family of 5

I also had more than one (five in fact) so I think mine were the Spice Lumps. Just like the Spice Girls girl band they were annoying, unwanted and caused a big fuss when they first arrived on the scene. So, just like the band members, my tumours were: Baby Lumpy (obviously the smallest one), Scary Lumpy (the biggest), Posh Lump, Sporty Lumpy and Ginger Lumper.
Hopefully, unlike the Spice Girls, they will not make a comeback!

YES! Let's hope they stay retired just like the Spice Girls!
