Ok so this a depressing illness in which the stress can be imense I would like to start a thread that is uplifting to everyone.
We have all had funny stories thats happened since diagnosed so why dont we share them.
Ill Start with one of the many Ive had.
I have mentioned this on another thread but I find it so funny
10 days after my first chemo I went for a drive with my other half.
We were in my car which is a convertable and had the roof down as it was day
We stopped of beside the beach to have fish and chips and as my hair was tangled i ran my finges through it to untangle it.
Big mistake A handful of hair came away.
seeing I was close to tears my OH leaned over with look of concern on his face and kissed me ad said
And I quote
" I know is upstteing love ( He paused ) But thank god we werent in my car "
It difussed the situation as we bothed laughed but next day I got my own back by again running my hands through my hair and spreading the whole lot over his newly made bed.
He hasnt mentioned it since.

Not sure if this is funny, or just plain rude! When my mums neighbour found out she had cancer, he started to talk about his friend who had it “bad” he said it’s ok hes got the bad cancer, and is ill he is not “lucky” like you having the “good” kind and being well. (She will probably loose her breast, nodes, and need chemo and rads)!!!
Have I missed something somewhere, is there a “good cancer”!!!
She was speechless! but didnt comment back!
Hi Joanne, I am so pleased that you have started this thread. There was another similar to it some time ago that made me laugh so much. People can say the most appalling things and sometimes situations we find ourselves in are comical.
ILaughter can be such a tonic. I shall read every day!

Another time When I went for my biopsy I discussed with the nurse the fact that i want both boobs off and reconstruction from a tummy tuck after my cheo etc was finished I told this information onto my OH who asked me if I wanted a Take away and for about a week kept stuffing my face with food when eventually I asked him why he said" the more fat you have on you belly the bigger the boobs you’ll get" Typical man come on you must have funny stories anbout your other halves.

I think this is a great idea.
I have told this one before but when I woke up in recovery from my first op I felt all giddy and smiley (morphine).
I was watching the staff coming and going about their business.
This anaesthetist walked past to go to his patient and I waved at him, he glanced at me briefly, then looked at his patients notes.
He looked back over his shoulder at me in a puzzled way and then looked at the name on my bed.
He left recovery and then a couple of minutes came back in, he walked over and smiled and asked did I know him.
I said no I just thought I’d wave at you, he just smiled sympathetically and walked away.
Another was when I went to visit my old office.
As soon as I walked in my old partner in crime said she needed a smoke.
So I went outside with her, her first question was “how are the boobs?”
To which I replied, “Fine they didn’t take too much away so I am not leaning to the one side yet!”
Some people ask the silliest of things!

Joanne
well hopefully you will think this is funny,
as some of u know i was living in cyprus last year,hubby in forces,I have had recon now but at the time just had one boob,and used to wear a softie in my bra or a proper prosthesis,well this one day I had the soft one in and a friend came over with her little boy who was 5 and my little boy was 6,they were playing upstairs and we were enjoying the sun,my lad came down and said aiden has bit holes in your boobie mum,I said what do u mean,and its a good job my mate knew I had had a mastectomy or she would have thought what the heck,he brought it down and there was about four chunks out of it,I was laughing but upset as it was the only one I had to use in the pool etc,I still have it with a nice big piece of parcel tape on it,although dont need it now,any takers???
shouldnt this be on chit chat and fun?
Hi all
I can move this thread to chit chat and fun where it might be more appropriate
Kind regards

My seven year old grandson accidently walked into my bedroom when I had only pants on. In an effort to cover my one boob and line I gave him a view of my stomach. [biiigg and divided in half by a long caesaerian section- no bikini scars in the olden days].
“Nanny”, he cried horrified, “your bottom’s in the wrong place”.

When I went for my first ever mammogram, the radiologist took one look at me and said “I’d better see if I have big enough plates!”
Made me laugh! Sue (38G)
My 19 yr old daughter went backpacking to Oz last Nov, a few weeks after my dx,so when she returned a few weeks ago it was the first time she had seen me without hair,but took it in her stride.A few nights later she was getting ready to go out and came and asked me if I had any hairspray – HELLO !!!
now that’s bragging Sue
they could have done mine on a saucer
I lost my hair few days ago and last night when I was out I called my son to ask him to turn my straightners off he called back half hour later saying he couldnt find my straightners I was wetting myself laughing The look on his face when I went home and pointed out that I cant use them DUH
Joanne

Joanne
good! They say laughter is the best medicine. Personally I prefer a bottle of whisky!
