    ha ha former La Leche League leader here - that last thought really made me laugh!

    I have often felt like showing my fine stick on boob.

    12 yo DD all prudish changing on the beach/in the swimming pool. Me: Like what's the big deal?


    YKYACPW you wonder why the oncologist bothers pulling those drapes round the casting couch while you take off your top for the annual check up...I would happily whip off the top in plain sight.

    FF, I switched oncologist. My thought was he didn't have many breast patients when i whiped up the shirt for the exam.

    Has anyone seen Embarrassing Bodies on Netflix? It is a UK medical show showing everyone's bits and pieces in up close detail! Lols Can you imagine returning to work the next day? "Wow, George that's quite a cluster of piles! We paused the shot and had quite a look! Red as cherries!" " Norman, everyone is calling me saying they've seen your knob and bollocks on the tellie! It was during teatime. Your Aunt Eleanor almost choked on her scone!!" 😜

    They can't be that embarrassed to go on a show called Embarrassing Bodies with cameras zooming in bullseye on a bad case of hemorrhoids! Imagine the look of it on a 60" UltraHD! Then again, what am I doing watching it?! 🤭

    YKYACPW....you see a floatie in your eye. You play with it, bounce it up, watch it float slowly down, again and again as you lie there, then wonder if it's a rogue cancer cell. 🤔

    I think this is the original YKYACPW thread. I strongly suggest reading when you have some time, and a roll of paper towels cause you’re gonna be laughing sooooo much.

    Bumping this hysterical thread...

    ...when you tell the lab tech, "I know you have a butterfly needle in your coat pocket, let's use it"

    When at the dog park, discussing mapping for rads. Friend didn’t know what that is, so you yank your shirt up to show her.

    YKYACPW... You getting ready for another surgery and your Surgeon asks before moving the curtain, "Are your decent?" You and DH laugh hysterically and DH, still laughing, states," you have seen every inch of her!"

    you know you're a cancer patient when you do a little too much housework and have to stop to catch your breath then take a nap

    Literally sitting here proud of myself because I made dinner tonight...

    YKYACP when you get to tell your PCPs PA you just left MO office half an hour ago, and he isn’t concerned about the labs that had her bouncing off the walls. And watching her back pedal and stammer. Good thing I had a mask on, she couldn’t see me cracking up.

    YKYACP when you lose some previously stubborn weight you gained back after cancer year, and instead of saying "Alright, hot damn!" you go "Shit, NOW what?"

    YKYACP when you have everything needed for any hair eventuality (no hair, thin hair, short hair, longer hair) and then realize you don't know what to do with newly curly hair (side effect du jour).

    When you use the term “side effect du jour".

    When the nurse In the lab can't find a betadine swab and you produce a packet for her from your tote bag.

    When a doctor says, “What are you doing? Eating healthy? Don't you like ice cream?" (Talking about unwanted weight loss.)

    YKYAACP: When the pharmacist writes a big cheerful "Happy Birthday!" on your ondansetron prescription

    When you come downstairs and loudly and proudly announce, "I pooped!" only to realize you sound like a toddler....

    When your BOSS asks to rub your hair...

    YKYACPW you are asked the COVID screening questions on entrance to every hospital and you answer "Have you felt feverish in the last 24 hours?" with "Only about 12 times an hour."

    And your answers to all the other questions are positive too :D
