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

It's funny, I can remember and recite my birth date without thought, ask me my age and I need a calculator!
-
oh yeeeeaah! I have lost count,
-
Strangely enough I can recall my home phone number from childhood, don’t bother asking my cell number...or what I ate for dinner last night.
-
dinner last night? How about breakfast today??😂😂.
-
PHEW!!
I thought I was the only one who could remember my childhood phone number, the police and ambulance number (pre-911 days), but not what (or even IF) I had for breakfast or lunch!
-
LOL too true Spookie! Native & Spookie -I’ve always had pretty good long term memory and terrible short term. Treatment made it worse, but has got better the further out I get. Thankfully because I don’t think the hubs appreciates me forgetting his birthday 2 years in a row....ahhhh this is the life!
))

The humour on here is great ladies! Egads I forgot our anniversary last year. I actually hadn't thought to blame that one on the hormones (or med-induced lasck thereof) at least I'll know what to blame it on this year.
-
Feline, omg it's a great excuse....everything from overdue library books to parking spaces. The possibilities are endless....I hate baby/wedding showers (like HATE), now all I have to do is send a gift! We paid dearly for this 'inalienable right'. LOL Joking! well, kinda.

You know you are a cancer patient when ... you are talking to someone about your reconstruction, they ask a question, and you reply, "do you want to see them?"
I have got to stop this. Today it was my Esthetician. She thought they looked good.

At least it wasn’t your dentist or the dogs vet🤪🤪.
-
LOL!!
or priest
-
Lols!
Or a nursing baby 😂
-
ha ha former La Leche League leader here - that last thought really made me laugh!
I have often felt like showing my fine stick on boob.
12 yo DD all prudish changing on the beach/in the swimming pool. Me: Like what's the big deal?
YKYACPW you wonder why the oncologist bothers pulling those drapes round the casting couch while you take off your top for the annual check up...I would happily whip off the top in plain sight.
-
FF, I switched oncologist. My thought was he didn't have many breast patients when i whiped up the shirt for the exam.

Has anyone seen Embarrassing Bodies on Netflix? It is a UK medical show showing everyone's bits and pieces in up close detail! Lols Can you imagine returning to work the next day? "Wow, George that's quite a cluster of piles! We paused the shot and had quite a look! Red as cherries!" " Norman, everyone is calling me saying they've seen your knob and bollocks on the tellie! It was during teatime. Your Aunt Eleanor almost choked on her scone!!" 😜
They can't be that embarrassed to go on a show called Embarrassing Bodies with cameras zooming in bullseye on a bad case of hemorrhoids! Imagine the look of it on a 60" UltraHD! Then again, what am I doing watching it?! 🤭
YKYACPW....you see a floatie in your eye. You play with it, bounce it up, watch it float slowly down, again and again as you lie there, then wonder if it's a rogue cancer cell. 🤔
-
I think this is the original YKYACPW thread. I strongly suggest reading when you have some time, and a roll of paper towels cause you’re gonna be laughing sooooo much.
-
spookiesmom- I second that, have read some of it and I am getting a good laugh!!
-
I remember my grandparents phone number and street address from the 1960s but couldn't tell you my phone number from the 1980s.
-
So so happy that this thread is being picked back up. It has provided me with hours of laughter!
-
Bumping this hysterical thread...
...when you tell the lab tech, "I know you have a butterfly needle in your coat pocket, let's use it"
-
When at the dog park, discussing mapping for rads. Friend didn’t know what that is, so you yank your shirt up to show her.
-
I met up with my daughter's friend who had a double mastectomy (Braca positive) and we both pulled up our shirts to compare the reconstructions. Surprised my daughter
-
YKYACPW... You getting ready for another surgery and your Surgeon asks before moving the curtain, "Are your decent?" You and DH laugh hysterically and DH, still laughing, states," you have seen every inch of her!"

Don’t ya love them??😂😂😂
-
You know your a cancer patient when your Cardiologist tells you " Yes, you should be eating bacon."
-
-
-
you know you're a cancer patient when you do a little too much housework and have to stop to catch your breath then take a nap
Literally sitting here proud of myself because I made dinner tonight...
-
YKYACP when you get to tell your PCPs PA you just left MO office half an hour ago, and he isn’t concerned about the labs that had her bouncing off the walls. And watching her back pedal and stammer. Good thing I had a mask on, she couldn’t see me cracking up.
