You know you're on chemo when...
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd start a thread to try and find the funny side of chemo, as I truly feel as though I've had my funny bone removed. Usually my sense of humour is what defines me and gets me through the hard parts of life. I don't know how you all feel but I've struggled to find myself in the last 6 weeks since my journey began, and now as I approach my 2nd chemo treatment, I could do with a boost by people who are travelling a similar road to mine.
So I'll start off, and I hope you can share your funny experiences with me....
You know you're on chemo when... you do your hair with a lint remover.

Hi TWH! I'll look forward to you adding your own thoughts once you experience the joys of chemo. Good luck xx
Hi all, I start chemo in a couple of weeks and after reading this hilarious blog have a fairly good idea of what to expect.
Mel, I've been working out a little bit lately and I've found doing squats are tempting fate...

Do you usually mainly get them at night time? Oh, here's a tip. Wear 100% cotton and a cotton blanket is usually best too.
Yes SOOOOO many having chemo. I think we should come up with our own Chemo Anthem, complete with chemo brain. It could go something like this:
"We chemo chicks lets us rejoice, for we are something and something else...what were we singing again? Ouch my aching joints. Who spewed?"
