YKYACPW when part of your shower routine is washing your boob --- and then you set it out of the shower on a towel and wash your other boob. (You know, the one that is still attached to your body!)

YNYACP when numerous people tell you how much they like your hair (i.e. your wig) and how much better it looks than your hair. did before (i.e.my real hair) I now have at least 3/4 inch of hair which I have dyed a lovely shade of brown. It sticks in all directions also. I am planning on going natural during off hours and only wear wig to work. I DON"T CARE HOW GREAT WIG LOOKS, i prefer my own hair.

YKYABCW you are 7 days post-op and talk to your 21 yr old son about the great size and shape of your new ta tas and he responds "thats great mom"

YKYACPW you remove the foob from your mastectomy side as you're getting undressed for bed. Then you reach around to remove the other side before when you realize that breast is still attached. I did that last night and man did I laugh!

My dogs old enough now that they wouldn't grab the "loose" boob, but you're right that would be funny.
YKYACPW..........the only thing people seem to talk to you about is cancer. I do have other interests.......not just cancer.

Bonnie - I need one of those shirts
YNYACP when during your pre-op vist for reconstruction your surgeon asks for a peek inside your bra to remind him what he is supposed to do in surgery next week, I just pulled my shirt down and showed him.

First my hair came in straight then went curly--never got a pic. Then a combo of curly straight. Then totally straight. I used to color it, but stopped before all of everything started. It came in all these wonderful shades from white, to steel gray, and enough black. A colorist could not have created it. Finally found someone who could really cut it very flattering. I also had lost 50 some pounds. So, yeah , I did look different and better, so what could I say. I knew I looked allot better. It was the getting there that sucked.

You know you have cancer with "lumpectomy" when you look down at your Boob, and the nipple on the operated side is saying "good morning" to your feet, and the other boob is saying "good morning" to your face.

When people see you they say "how are you doing" before they say Hello., and with that pathetic look
0 -
The PITY look!

For some reason I don't get the pity look. I get offended looks, especially from people who couldn't stand me before, now they cant' stand me even worse. Like the fact that I never accepted to be "down" during the treatment and rebounded so fast is a personal insult for them.
YKYACP when you remember how healthy and active you were before this diagnosis, and now you get to consider a personal victory a day when you can actually get out of bed and do stuff at least til noon without feeling fatigued.

I had to laugh because, thanks to gravity, my non operated boob says good morning to my feet, and my operated one says it to my face.

Ok, Ladies.............are you making fun of my Boobies..............The first time I looked down I thought "what the hell happened to the other nipple............I actually had to go to the mirror to make sure it was still there.........Do you think i can sue the BS for Poor Alignment Surgery
You know you have cancer when someone in the family never cared if you had a will but.......all of a sudden you find Estate Lawyer business card around your house.

YKYACP when the hair you are sweeping off the tile floor belongs more to you then your pets. I never thought I could out-shed a German Shepherd going thru her sping molt. Time for the scissors and clippers...
