OK trying to get thru this with laughter, humor and jokes. Went for biopsy (I have ILC) on Wed. Dec 21. You know that little gadget that sucks the tissue out makes a sound like a commercial staple gun going off? Well when the radiologist took the first sample I screamed "Oh my God, I've been shot" and he and the tech just started laughing their butts off. Well I'm an actor so as soon as I got that first laugh it was all over. The radiologist said "You OK?" and I said (from Monty Pythons' SPAMALOT) "It's just a flesh wound, I'm not dead yet!" All while wearing my SPAMALOT humor hat that I got when I saw the show in NY. Sure made the day go better....the tech said most gals just sit there and cry. I told her I could do that in about 2 seconds flat if she preferred! Promised her she could have my humor hat as soon as I am healthy once again. Marsha

    That's great Marsha!! I humored my way through it all also. Have to, only way to get through it. I felt like a sick whale being "harpooned" everytime it went off.

    OK Lini...YOU crack me up to, I'm not the only funny one. Thank God I scrolled thru all the different topics and found this one. I was afraid I was going to offend some folks who have yet to find any humor. I've told all my friends to please feel free to use me at their convience. You know like when they are invited to go somewhere they don't want to I've told them to say "I am so sorry, we can't make it....my best friend has breast cancer and we will be consoling her tonight". With the holidays here, more than one friend has used it. LOL Marsha

    Hey Marsha,
    When I saw Spamalot, I came away with a "I'm not dead yet" pin. I also like to say it with the accent. And I'm trying to learn the song so I can sing it for my Onc. I only have 6 more months to finish his training before he moves on. This past week I wore naked Santa earrings to my appointment and he didn't mention them but when the attending came in she went hysterical. He said he saw them but didn't dare comment and he got red in the face. I have some work to do on that young man
    Take Care

    I also made the tech and Dr laugh at my biopsy,
    when I layed down on the table face down and my boob went in the hole,,
    I started singing my boob's a swinging
    and it sounded like a sewing machine to me.

    then at the hosp when I went in for the wire to be inserted... before the surgery
    I was looking down at my boob, and said,
    hey man my boob's wired now, can I talk to the FBI,,, maybe aliens since I seem to have some kind of thingie polking out and upward...
    I thought the girls were going to bust a gut..
    The young girl that was learning to do this procedure kept tightening the paddle, I looked at her and sensed that she was a little nervous,,,,
    I said is this some OJT (on the job training)
    she looked horrified and looked at her supervisor..
    I laughed and said there was no problem except my boob's going to explode...
    but all in all it was funny
    and really put the group at ease, the supervisior said that she was glad she missed the meeting, said that I was a breath of fresh air
    peace

    Marsha, I love your sense of humor! I too have been weathering this ILC trek with a sense of humor (most of the time) and so many people just don't get it.

    Sheesh if I don't laugh I will cry....it is that simple.

    When I went for my 1st mammo on my remaining boob after active treatment, I asked the tech if I'll get a discount on the procedure. She just didn't see the humor in my comment! Believe it or not, I DID just get charged for a uni-mammo!!!!!

    Hugs,
    suzie

    Evilelf: what the heck kinda of biopsy has you put your boobs in a hole? Guess I got that to look forward to. Wow, there is some good material there and I am an actor and not above stealing others' material so I might use some that. Wires and paddles??? Man it just gets better and better. Although that On the Job training thing I could do without thank you very much. LOL
    Suzie14: Yes...I have found that the medical community might be willing to laugh with you but NOT when it comes to their bill!! Marsha
