Stupid comments ....

Bride, I only use my phone for posting and pics. In the box where you reply at top in the tool bar the icon that sort of looks like a mountain. Tap that, then follow prompts. I don't know how to do videos.

Solfeo, Methinks you should check with the facility you were in. They could have another person with your name. That many errors tells me somethings wrong. Quiz them on every line item. Name, date of birth, address, phone. Hope it's only your insurance that's messed up

So I have this friend of mine. Nice girl, trying to cheer me up and tells me I have to watch only positive movies, like comedyes. Which is absolutely right! She called me yesterday to suggest a movie. She says it's a comedy and it has a good reviews. I said ok and start watching it. In this movie there is a cancer patient who is trying some experimental medicine to cure the cancer. I was watching the movie and thinking probably he is going to survive. I was very much surprised when he dyed at the end. I called my friend to ask what was the point to give this kind of suggestion?  She said she didn't see the movie just she thought it was gonna be a good one 

Ruska, your friend has lost ALL credibility! Good grief!!!

Okay, you asked ...

Varian Trilogy is the model/make of the radiation machine. Besides the blue LEDs, there were red and green ones as well.

Shirley et al, I'll take any ideas you have. The best I've managed is a faux pumpkin, carved as a skeleton with various blinking LEDs (and music if I could figure out how). But that idea is merely meh.

Ruska, she was a well meaning lady too. I guess curiosity gets ahead and it's not processed well before it comes out. It's ok, I was just mildly taken aback.

Colleague was questioning the fact that I don't dye my hair last week: I am 40, so I should have grey hair according to her... At least, if I end up needing a wig, I won't have to worry about the colour not matching: I can just claim I have died my hair!

bride,

Sticking with the medical equipment theme, have you considered going as a mammogram machine

Bride ,

How about something with green goo or slime and a " I've had so much radiation I glow in the dark or I'm a superhero now" theme?

Shirley

Penzance,

Your cow-orker sounds like a ass. I'm 59 and have maybe 15 grey hairs. What got me was that when my hair first started growing it came in almost translucent. Then it went curly. Now it's curly in some places, wavy in others, and a bit is straight. I never did a wig or hat or scarf and ended up petting other BC patients heads and getting my head petted, all with much laughter.

If you do get a wig, why not get one that is dazzling? I mean, who told your cow-orker that anything about BC is in anyway age appropriate? And tell your cow- orker to get a frigging grip.

OK. My well-intended, idiot.sister left me with an urgent voicemail. "Is your TV on? Turn on your TV. Call me!!!!"

I'm thinking OMG. 9/11? Earthquake? Are we at war?

So I turn on the TV. Nothing. WTF? I call her. She says, "There's a new study that says if you drink olive oil everyday it reduces your risk of getting breast cancer by 60%."

Earth to sister. I already have cancer. WHERE'S YOUR SIGN?

One of my students was very curious about my health and my scarves. She had an aunt that had cancer and wanted to know if I was in remission. I explained about surgery and chemo. Then she she asked why I wear scarves and I explained about not having hair. Then she said...Can I see it?"....I just said no and sent her to lunch and then laughed. She came back after lunch and told me that "They make wigs out of mink and fur, you should get one" I laughed and changed the subject to geography homework....Keep in mind she is a loveable 12 year old who has emotional and behavior challenges....We will have to work on some social skills😆

I went to see my MO today because of the lower back pain, and he said we have to schedule a bone scan, because the reason could be that the cancer have metastised to my bones. So I'm standing in the lobby really nervous and sad. One guy was passing by , he looked at me and said ' smile , baby, smile'. If I was all healthy I would probably just smile. But I took my hat off ( I'm bold now) looked at him said ' are you happy now?' . The guy probably thought I was crazy .  And probably he was right..... May be I'm going crazy .....

What Glennie said!!
