OK ladies.  I know this may go over like a lead balloon but I have a weird sense of humor.  And in the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy and his redneck jokes I thought we might have enough material to do some cancer jokes. 

You know you are a cancer patient when ...

You read a book and you laugh when the subject has been diagnosed with cancer and their first question to the oncologist is "Will I lose my hair?".

Your onc says that you need a transfusion and you ask "Can I get that from a  nineteen year old?" 

When your onc asks you the folllowing "Are you fatigued? Apetite OK? Any neuropathy? Bowels OK?" and you respond with "Can't you come up with any new questions?" and the onc responds with "I get paid to ask these questions!"

    The onc/dr actually expects us to either gain weight and/or is happy with no weight loss.......

    You find yourself discussing your bowel movements with cyber friends from BCO online and don't find it a little strange.................

    your friends from work see you with very little hair and a bloated face from steriods and they say you look good...............

    You walk in the rads room through the hallway and threaten to just go there topless because what difference does it make anyway?  The whole entire cancer center has seen your boobs.

    ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!

    Alaina, I was just thinking those very thoughts at my last checkup a few days ago!  I can't even think of anything as funny as what I've read here, but if I do, I'll be back.

    Hugs

    People ask you how you are feeling and you answer truthfully. My favorite answer right now is "draggin' ass".

    Yours are more funny though, and I needed a laugh! Thanks

    On windy days you have to hold onto your 'hair' to keep it from blowing across a parking lot.
