. . . when you know personally how Barbie feels with no color or nipples on her boobs.
...when you think of crazy things to do to 'shock' your doctors and nurses.
...when you shock your ps with removable tattoos in strategic places and tell him you were tired of the 'barbie boob' look.

...when you no longer hesitate to tell a man on the train to stand up so you can sit down!

...when your daily life involves so many acronyms you might as well work at IBM....or NBC...or, well, you get it. (Why haven't they got an acronym for acronym?)

When looking at red kool-aid takes on a whole new dimension.
Regarding the book idea...it's great. But I think what's posted on bco is owned by bco. You may want to start by checking with Melissa.

Bugs is probably right about BCO owning what is posted here. I'm on a different forum and that is the policy there. But, maybe if the proceeds from the book went to research, BCO would allow it.

You know you're a cancer patient when you are at the beach and can't go out in the sun with your family because the chemo you are on makes you get sunburned just walking from the car into the grocery store.

..you know you have had one too many chemos,when you can't even remember what road you live on.
--you know you're a cancer patient, when you take a shower in the morning and then look in the mirror and you wonder who that old bald headed man in the mirror is.

You know you're a cancer patient when you have maxed out all your insurance copays. I guess there are some perks!

.....when you finally stop crying and accept that you have breast cancer.

-- actually it goes like this. You know you are a cancer patient, when you can't reason out why someone on the same road you live on could have the same address as you. My DH pointed out that it was the road number, not the house number.
-- you look at your own brother and think, would I recognize him on the street?
-- when you just can't think of the right words to explain something, so everyone would understand.
-- when you are working with someone at work and you take these little micro naps and say something stupid and so unrelated when you wake up

When you are told that the radiation tx may leave you with heart problems 20 years from now and you are smiling at the thought of being alive to experience that!
When you use lubricant regularly with no thoughts of having sex in the foreseeable future.

When you go to get out of your recliner and it takes you 10 minutes to do so because you don't trust your feet...
you finally stand up and are "surprised" it wasn't painful (this time) and than forget why you even bothered to stand up in the 1st place...

You know you are a cancer patient when you can say a prayer for strength and help in one breath and then curse like a sailor as they are hooking up your IV for infusion..............and you know God understands.

You wake up, get dressed and head out the door to start your day.Then you realize you never even looked in a mirror once.

You tell a business associate of your DH's that her newly-dx'd sister is welcome to call you if you can help in anyway. When she calls, you go totally blank on her sister's name, but you stop short of blaming the very awkward information gap on chemo-brain because you'd rather let her think you're just a bit slow than scare her about chemo.

When your day looks like this... Wake up and rush to the bathroom (and hopefully not pee on yourself)... Lay down... Take a pill with juice or water... try to find something appetizing to eat... lay down... watch TV and get bored... rush to the bathroom again... change underwear because you peed a little in your undies... take a shower... lay down... do make up... lay down... put on wig... take a pill... make a reminder list of things to do... try and go out and get something accomplished... come home.. try and eat.. lay down... take a pill... sleep

When you talk about your treatment ,mentioning drugs by name, and your husband says it sounds like some bizarre code that no understands. Wow, my vocabulary has really increased over the past few months!

your pill minder is way TOO small for your ever growing stash of meds to deal with the ever changing side effects of treatments.
thinking about your "hairdo" for the day- your choices are: go commando with your 1/2 inch hair, ball cap, wig, or scarf?
and when you do go commando with your very short hair and people stare at you and you know they are thinking; weird short hair or pitiful cancer patient or I am glad I'm not her. But you just smile sweetly and carry on because you are alive and your hair is growing back!!
you put your new foobs into your new mastectomy swimsuit and later in the afternoon when you look at yourself in the mirror for the first time and wonder why are my foobs hanging so low, near my belly button and wonder why didn't I check out my new swimsuit look before I went to the lake?????? Attractive look!!

This thread is just to funny, kind of crying, sad funny, but good too. Will someone please tell me what ROFLMAO means?
You know you are a cancer patient when a friend e-mails you that she is sorry about your "nymph lodes" and you just can't stop laughing. I've called them nymph lodes ever since!
All you ladies with two year olds stealing your wigs. God bless children! They sure do put it all in the right light!
Lady Madonna- I don't know if "regular" people would find this funny if published, but unfortunately, there is a HUGE market of cancer people out there. I bet there are plenty who would "get it".
Kitty- I'm with you about running out of TV shows and watching fantasy travel channels. I'm watching fantasy food cooking channels too!
