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

YKYABCP when all the characters in your dream are doctors!!!

YKYABCP when when one of your foobs is somehow itching like crazy and scratching has no effect because you can't feel it.

Julie that's exactly the same for me without recon. Guess my chest is missing all those nerves the surgeon made off with....

How true, how true on the itch

I did find hydrocortisone cream helps!

Karen, I'm up in Greeley.

I agree with all of you about the weird phantom itch. I've tried to explain it to a couple of non-BC friends, and they don't really get it.

I was incredibly itchy for months after my breast reconstruction, which I guess was nerves on the outermost rim of the skin firing off. I found myself scratching at the most inappropriate times and places as it drove me crazy and I couldn't stop myself. It still happens sometimes but not nearly as often thank goodness

ykyabcpw...you try on bags of frozen peas in the frozen food section just to make sure they're big enough😄

Lol trying on peas Catfur!!

Know the fat arm syndrome only too well

amygil that's a good one.

Ykyacpw: Your weekly chemo appointment counts as date time with your hubby and you both miss it when chemo is done. (Really -- conversation, nice music, picnic lunch...)

Shetland: My hubby and I did the same thing only the first movie we watched was Nacho Libre. We got some interesting looks in the chemo sweet.

You know you're a cancer patient when....you are asked "what do you want for Christmas?" and the only thing you can think of is another Christmas.

I hope everyone here at BCO gets THAT present. Happy Holidays!
