160 You could sunbathe with factor less than 50

161 Telling everyone when your next FEC was would have considered rude and too well planned - to all those not on FEC, say it with an Irish accent, you’ll get what I mean :wink:

Love this thread x

Just thought of some others :wink:

161 When you thought being cannulated was something they did to sugar.
162 When you were happy to have veins that didn’t stick out a mile.
163 When you didn’t know and didn’t care what you’re neuts count was.
164 When you didn’t have that post chemo body smell - oops maybe that’s just me!
165 When you could eat what the hell you wanted.
166 When you didn’t look forward to being pumped full of chemicals and feeling cr@p after because it was ‘another one ticked off’
167 When you didn’t sit secretly in your bathroom surrounded by your needles, syringes and drug paraphernalia and feel like a junkie.

(Guess who’s on chemo?)

  1. When you washed your hair rather than your head

168 When you wondered what would kill you.

169 when you felt free and easy rather than dependent and grateful to those who give us this care

170 when you wanted more from life than just to be alive

171 when you thought nurses just did a job

172 When you didnt have enough pain killers left over in your medicine cabinet to overdose a small country!!!

(mind you they came in handy when i needed a happy sleep)

173 When you could buy nice underwear and still have change from your wages!

175 indeed and when nice underwear seemed important!

176 When you could carry your heavy big new handbag over your shoulder on the side you had surgery without worrying about lymphodema

177 When you didnt get sweat rash under your bra from wearing a prothesis

when you wondered how you would respond to be told you had cancer

178 when you could plan ahead

179 when you knew you had a long term future

when you didnt have smelly arm pits and could wear deodarant

181 when you didnt start crying for no reason
