YKYACP when you can chat with your one of your best friends casually (who also went though cancer, chemo, etc.) and compare where our hair grew back and where it didn't ;-).

ykyacpw- you wish the hair hadn't grown back in other places. I miss my silky smooth pits.0 -
ykyacpw you know where EVERY bathroom is in EVERY grocery store in town (thanks to chemo)
ykyacpw you become an expert at applying false eyelashes
ykyacpw your eyebrows don't match because you drew them in poorly

When it's the coldest day of the year, and you're the only one with your car window down.

When everyone in the house knows - no matter how cold it gets - NOT to give you "the cancer blanket" (because you took it to chemo with you, and have hated the sight & feel of it ever since).

Um Hm!!! I threw out my chemo shirt, worn for easy port access. Same reason

DH hated pistachios for years after somebody bought him a large bag during chemo back in 1998

ykyacpw.. You keep hotpaws handy for cold days... not for your hands, but your foob..or should I say icepack0 -
During Chemo I purposefully ate Fillet O Fish, because it sounded good and I knew there would be no love loss if I hated them later. I refused to eat anything I loved for fear of hating it later.0 -
My friends knew I had BC when I met them for coffee, and took my hat off. With my beautiful blonde wig still in the hat!
I went for my full body scan and had to lay on the table and the tech said that he had to tie my hands so they didn't fall off the edge, and I replied Thank You! and told him he could tie my ankles too!
After the body scan the tech came back in to untie me, and and I was so sad it was over so quick. It reminded me of my old boyfriend.
When you see your own hair growing back and we all say it's almost a 1/2 inch LONG?
Keep laughing.....it's good for the soul!

YKYACPW you're driving along the highway and took your hat off because of a hot flash, and the guy in the car next to you does a double take when you wave thanks at him for letting you in.

YKYACPW after being told all my life that I look exactly like my Mother, I lose my hair and look like my Dad!
0 -
YES, beachbum!! I took my hat off at a family dinner once and my sister-in-law actually gasped and said "I never realized how much you look like your brother!"
0 -
GeorgiaRai, LOL hilarious! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw my hairless head! Even my brothers don't look like my Dad! Even funnier when I thought about how happy I was to lose the moustache without wax.
After I finished chemo I saw my chemo nurses when I went to see my MO. I told them I wanted a refund or booster dose, the hair on legs started growing back, now that was a nice SE!
0 -
I agree, I loved not having hairy legs
Dh said something similar to me about looking like my dad when I was bald. haha, weird how that happens!
You know you are a cancer patient when the pharmacist and pharm tech know you by name
0 -
GeorgiaRai - know that one about the car windows (Tamoxifen central heating)
BeachBum - I had my head shaved (as soon as my hair started to molt). There was a little stubble grew the day or two after the shave. It was very prickly, ugly and came off on the pillow. As I could pull it out with my fingers with no pain whatsoever I decided to do something to get rid of it all. Got a roll of duct tape and used it to "depile" by sticking it to my head section by section and pulling it off. Never felt a thing as those hair roots were dead. Did it on my own when hubby at work, kids at school. When I finished I looked up from the sink I was standing at, straight into the mirror, shiny bald head, and there was my Dad looking back at me. Didn't even need someone else to tell me (although they did) it was THAT obvious.

feelingfeline what a great idea for the stubble.

mY ALL TIME FAVORITE WAS THE DENTIST ONE, ALSO. bUT NOW I REALLY LOVE FLIPPING THE WIG TO WARD OFF THE FLIRTERS.......

lol. The funny thing about looking like one parent or another. My dad actually had more hair than my mom. But he looked like Santa Clause. Build like him too. Lol.
And that is a great idea about the hair stubble as long as it doesn't hurt. I have had a constant headache since my chemo. I have only had 1 round so far.
