Dear All
After a general discussion on the correct time for fun and time to be serious about the Big C it was decided that we should have a post devoted entirely to being totally silly and as the title states, cancer what cancer. Sometimes we need to just leave the disease to one side and be totally stupid and have some fun so here is the appropriate thread.
Enjoy…!
I did read a funny post on another forum about a proof reading error someone had read. Apparently, the book described a particular cancer patient as being a retired teacher with an interest in bowls. The article went on to say that lymphodema had “disrupted her bowels for a whole season”. Poor woman, as if BC and lymphodema weren’t enough, she also had terrible problems with her bowels !
afternoon campers, thanks minmx we needed someone to make a decision, have you been on ranters and told the girls (we should probably post on stinkers too) We use ranters for a moan or worry and stinkers for serious stuff and all the fun can take place here!!!
for all you who want to join in please do (it may be an idea to check in newly diagnosed under “sorry if i rant” & “i can’t believe it… no really it stinks” this will tell you the stories so far and how mad we are, but do joon and have a laugh xxxxxxx
Sorry tracy, i can now see you had posted on the other threads … you see once again OH has taken over the pc and im left using internet on my mobile!! and it’s beyond slow? well im sat out what a glorius day eh? when i came out in the garden i was putting sun tan cream, the spray type, on my two monkeys and all of a sudden the wee man sood still like a statue? then he looked at me, only moving his eyes and said, not moving his lips either, “me neck” then whispered, stil not moving his lips, “i’m the tin man out of the wizard of oz” it was so funny! anyway they now have an array of toys re-enacting the movie, i’ll be dishing out the oscars later! hope you all having as relaxing an afternoon as me x gotta go now & put phone on charge! catch up later x

Hi Ladies
Been caught. But it made me smile. Went out Friday with a fellow victim of BC. We had one or two glasses of wine. Came home with the munchies so tottered into garage for some oven chips. Coming out of garage jeans dropped round ankles. Been to the loo and could not face squeezing myself back into them. No worries, shuffle inside and kick them off. Don sexy jamas (not) while oven chips are cooking.
Next door neighbour has just asked OH if I was Ok. He described sight of me retreating into the house with jeans round my ankles. Whoops. Perhaps I should call at take away on the way home next time.
Happy days
