Chemo Humor

1. I don't recognize myself in the mirror in the mornings. It's startling to look up and see someone else in the bathroom -then realize it is me.

2. There is no such a thing as a bad hair day.

3. I don't have to shave my legs anymore.

4. Or my underarms.

5. Mosquitoes will die when they bite me.

6. I look like an alien: no brows!

7. I had "killer boobs". Ha.

8. I can easily walk around incognito - just put a different wig on!

9. I'm saving money on shampoo, conditioner, haircuts...and coloring my hair. But maybe I'll start a new trend and color my scalp.

10. Never have to worry about "hat head" hair. While you are thinking of hats, check out Threads4Warriors. Yup, that's me -the warrior.

You can order a hat with your own word(s) on it. Like, "Cancer Sucks". Or "Team Bob". (I'm not Bob but it sounded better than Team Boob.)

11. My cancer was "booby trapped". Thankfully, it didn't spread.

12. I now have one A and one B. First time in my life I've been downgraded to an A.

13. One day next year, I'll get that boob job my husband always wanted.

14. Too bad my port isn't : a) an airport b) a ship port c) a sweet wine from Portugal

15. I'm often light-headed from chemo. Double meaning there!

Cancer is not fun, nor funny. I get that. However, humor has been one way for me to cope with each day. Levity, you know, brings one up.

Share your humor with me!
