You know you're a cancer patient when....

Hmm -- wonder what would happen if I went semi-topless :  covered on the droopy 36-C side, uncovered on the nipless mast side.  Other than my 32-year-old DD trying to pretend she doesn't know me.

YKYACPW .... you shoo your cat who's curled up sleeping on your towels in the bathroom cabinet before realizing that it's your wig that you accidentally left there last night. I just hollered at my wig - demanded to know what it was doing in there.  Sheesh!

Surfdream----------thank you for the best LAFF of the morning.------Does your wig have a name? Where was the cat? What look did she give you?  Like"MOM" have you lost your wits? TOO funny!!!!!!!!!!

SURFDREAMS - good one, the cat probablly raised its head and glared at you from wherever.

YKYACPW everytime you take off your bra out tumbles all the cotton balls and you always forget you put them in there.  still happening.....

YKYACPW people who provide bad service also light the short fuse to your temper, get mad as hell and don't want to take it from anyone anymore!



YKYACPW you get your reminder letter in the mail to see the onc. You summon the energy to call the number that you know better than the back of your hand... Then you have to explain to three different people about getting your port flushed and labs drawn a week before your appointment because it's due... They try to tell you they can't do that. You get an appt and then they go on to explain you'll owe 60some dollars if it's just a port flush without labs... No this was cleared up last month. When I have $31000 outstanding in claims, I'm pretty sure i've met my deduct and oop. But you suddenly start bawling because it's just too much to explain, again...

When you show your customer who has tonsil cancer your port scar and you exchange war stories with him (instead of talking about business).



When your onco asks your how your mind is after having chemo. What mind??? LOL!!!

When you are playing Scrabble and have the letters WBR and all you can think of is whole brain radiation....

when you count yourself lucky to have the exact number of sick days needed for your next surgery + recovery.

YKYACPW.....you learned the hard way to make appts for Mon or Tues because if they are any day after Tuesday, you will spend the entire weekend waiting for results and going crazy!

YKYACPW... can go home and say, "We had so much fun at chemo today!"

When you are so happy to hear you have a herniated disc in your lower back because:



1. Now you know the cause of your leg pain



2. It's not f'n cancer!!!!!

Or.....Faith..............You get the pronunciation of your meds right and your GP thinks you are from a medical background.

When nurses ask out if you're a nurse because you're well versed in medical terminology.
