barbe...that is hilarious..what a comeback. *L* I guess I should consider myself fortunate. I thought my lumpectomy scar was a bit of "overkill" ..8 inches long...but the surgeon's name started with "M" so it could have been worse...

I have two long hair black cats.

I can so associate with the nipples looking different places. After my first lumpectomy (left breast) for pre-cancer, my left nipple was standing at attention (perky) and the right was at ease (saggy). After my second lumpectomy (right breast), my left nipple was still at attention and my right was pointing East. That is why the third time I had a questionable mammo, I said get these ticking time boobs off.
My mom is jealous of my scars, her single mast scar is not straight and smooth. My bilat mast scars are nice and straight and smooth. I told her it was because I had recon and the plastic surgeon drew where he wanted the surgeon to cut and the ps closed up the incision. The plastic surgeons are concerned with aestics than the general surgeons.

You know you are a cancer patient when a man is flirting with you in the grocery store and your first thoughts is that your wig is out of place or that he hasn't noticed yet that you have no eyelashes.

YKYACP when you can no longer multi-task at all, not even a little. Made cookies tonight and burnt the first batch as I got busy on BCO. oops - completely forgot, so logged off and got the kitchen timer so no more burnt batches but geez Louise. I used to be able to keep many things active in my mind. I miss my mind... :-)

Ducky--I was in a very pissy mood after my last appointment with the Rad Onc, the one where I fired him--and was leaving the center crying. ONe idiot asked me how to get the parking thingy validated, I told him "Go see Dr. (name witheld to protect the guilty) and let him tell you his treatment has left you in pain for the rest of your life, and there was a 60% chance you didn't need the treatment anyway!" Sometimes I wonder what that person did that day. . . .

When you decide to out together a spreadsheet of all your doctors, surgeries and treatments. Ugh!
When a customer doesn't recognize you with your real hair because it's short. They tell you it looks different. That means ugly!!!!! Oh well, my hair is really thick right now and hers is thin. Maybe she's envious! LOL!!!0 -
When all your EOBs are on a spreadsheet and cross-referenced to incoming bills based upon doctor and date of service...and that printed spreadsheet is more than two pages at 9 font!!

YKYACPWhen...........You can hide all the Easter Eggs a few days before Easter, knowing full well you'll forget where they are and, for months afterwards, find on-going little gifts from the Easter bunny in most unexpected places.
Just make sure the ants didn't find them first.
