    Sorry to hear so many in the work rooms and recovery room. Sure hope everyone 's back in the yard pecking pretty soon. Cancer Sucks.

    Mary Social Workers have never been given the credit due them. Nor the pay.  Angel just like you said, they make so many things happen. Yeah and Kudos for the SOCIAL WORKER!!!!!!!!! Mary, hope that makes your day you all deserve it.

    OK, Ladies, just found this thread yesterday during my lunch break and couldn't wait to get right back at it again today.  So far I have only managed to get to page 6 and I have to stop now as I cannot contain my laughter any longer and I am trying to read this while at work (supposedly working).  I have not laughed so much in quite a while, and the pictures going through my mind are hysterical.  I dread to think what I will be like by the time I catch up with all your posts - you ladies have me gutting myself laughing.  Can't wait to finish work and get home so I can spend some quality time catching up. Thank you, I really need a hearty laughing session right now and this is definitely the CURE  for me right now.

    Gaynorl -

    Your post makes me wonder about the origins of some of the themes/motifs? woven through this thread. I can't speak to asparagus or aluminum foil hats - but I am pretty sure the chicken originated with someone criticizing the non-serious nature of the thread - referring to the posters as cackling hens - and that was enough to inspire the hilarity and invention which has ensued on that theme. Hats ( aluminum) off to the ladies who make laughter out of disparaging remarks and who refuse to lose their senses of humor in the face of BC. Cackle on!

    Thanks Sas and Angel.  I supervise many social workers and continue to fight to have just one dedicated for out-patient oncology and radiation to be able to do all those things you mentioned.  I love what I do.

    I was very lucky to have an amazing social worker assigned to help me right from the date of my first visit to the Cancer Centre.  She offered fantastic advise, support and practical help - turly outstanding.  I am amazed to hear that not every cancer centre offers this service as a standard of care.  This whole journey can be a minefield and we need someone there to help guide us through.  I did wonder when we were first introduced why I was being given a social worker but within minutes I fully understood how useful she was going to be.  Even now when I return for my 6 monthly check ups we always find time for a chat to catch up.  I have a friend in Alberta who has just started on the cancer journey for lymphoma and I was surprised when she told me she had not been assigned a social worker, not standard practice at the centre she attends.  These people are truly amazing in their knowledge and compassion and should be rewarded on a daily basis!

    Happy Birthday in advance hdangel..since I can't keep of what day is what just yet..(chemo brain) and will likely forget by Sunday. I suggest for those of us who can't have alcohol for whatever reason congregate at the non alcoholic bar in the Hen House for the party. I'll have a glass of Chicken Alexander..or perhaps a Fuzzy Poultry Navel...substituting the alcohol with chicken broth..*cluck*

    I had a neighbor come by two nights ago wanting me to go with her to a Doctor that cures everything with Magnets.  I very graciously told her I don't have faith in Magnets and declined to go with her.  She was surprised that I wouldn't jump at the chance to get cured!  Talk about stupid! She really believes that placing a magnet on my cancer is going to cure it.

    Wouldn't the MRI cure cancer since it is a magnet?

    Haha..I need my eyes checked...I first read "magnets" as maggots...

    Then I thought teepee meant TP as in toilet paper...until I saw the next post and the picture...( try to imagine a toilet paper cure..from behind the Hen House...yikes)

    Maybe I have had one too many Chicken Cocktails...

    Maggots, did i miss something? I thought we were trying (more like NOT trying) magnets... well i suppose if your cancer was cause by too much iron tablets????   Naty41 (welcome!) your response was very poilte and controlled!

    HD-Angel. happy birthday, girl, you know life begins at....  soon! Get on with it, can't afford to waste any more time Have a good one! I'm thinking that if you party for that long at a stretch then you maybe won't be back at work for an extra week or two, be gentle on yourself

    Toilet paper, well there was a lot of Bounty involved early on. Which caused great amusement to those of us me included in countries where Bounty is a coconut based chocolate bar.

    Edit: Emily, I just re-read your post, i get it now, sorry. Standing reprimanded in the corner, looking for North of course bc of the magnets in my bloodstream and wondering if we are safe, lighting a fire inside a tent. I think it's past my bedtime....

    Do magnets stick to tin foil?  I'll have to try it on my hat.
