YKYACPW you go to the grocery or anywhere just normal always wearing your most favorite, best-est clothes in your closet.... no way are they getting bagged for the Salvation Army or Good Will without some wear-and-tear on them, you will get your days in them now..... whether you lose so much weight they fall off or whatever comes.

You know your a cancer patient when...... Your 4 year old announces to all the kids and parents at the bus stop " my mommy is wearing a wig". Haha...

You know you're a cancer patient when....you ask your 11yo if he likes your hat and he replies it would look better with your shirt on.

katopet--I spit my tea out when I read your post. Funny!
YKYACP when you can lay your collection of hospital bands end to end and have enough to circle the globe twice. (Huge exaggeration, of course, but I don't feel like I'm too far off!

You know you're a cancer patient when...for a special Mother's Day project, the teacher has your four year old finish sentences about you. The first one reads, "My Mom...grows her hair". I'm thinkin' I was probably the only Mom in the class who got that one!

YKYACPW your 12 friends from chemo 2010 right a new version of the twelve days of Christmas.
Onthe first day of chemo my oncologist said to me
you're gonna have all of this real soon
Twelve scans and specialist
Eleven drugs for nausea
Ten scarves and hats
Nine miserable days
Eight rounds of chemo
Seven more blood draws
Six more neulastas
Five sleepless nights
Four port a caths
Three painful drains
Two fake boobies
And a sleeve for your lymphadema.0 -

YKYACPW-you have a box in the basement full of post mx wraps, a head for my wig that my dd decorated, the wig, old sleves, TONS of books & papers on reseach, sea bands and peppermint oil for nausea, cream for your radiation burn and 100's of well wishing cards from loved ones I cannot part with. We call this the "cancer box" in our storage area.
Also, you get thrilled with a whitehead blemish on your face......means you HAVE wbc's!0 -
flopsy - interesting twist on the old classic
survivor - never thought of having zits as a good thing .... till now.
Had a bit of a chuckle the other day when someone said "I have to get something off my chest". The saying now has a totally new meaning to me now.

LOVE the 12 days of Christmas!
I have a "cancer box" too, it's on the shelf in the closet in the spare room. Someday I hope to move it to the basement.

YKYACPW After having BMX you wonder could you legally go down the street topless since you have no breast and did not reconstruct any. LOL

I heard that a woman here in Seattle has sued over that very thing... don't know the details.

gumby, are you thinking of the woman who wanted to swim in the public pool topless after her DMX because of the way a suit top aggravated a painful area caused by her surgery? I think the city settled with her and allowed her to swim but ruled that she was an exemption and others would be handled on a case by case basis. She stated that she wanted to make sure others like her would be allowed topless.

I am flat and I am staying flat. BUT, I don't show off my flatness bare to anyone. I think it's still a shock for people to see a nipple-less chest - whether man or woman. This is only my opinion, but as a flat person, I don't think it's appropriate to shock those who aren't expecting to see it (doctors, etc).
