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.

You think of all the money you are going to save on hair care products, shaving/ waxing products etc once you hair falls out.
(and you are getting sick of the waiting (what person in their right mind gets sick of waiting to become bald - but the worry is worse than the event I think), knowing it is going to happen and should start anyday now, but not sure how it comes out, so am I going to go to the shops with a head full of hair and come home with a hair trail and looking like a mangey dog with a patchy head).
(Had my 1st TCH cycle on 02/04/12 and was told it would fall out in 2nd week (nadir week) which finishes tomorrow - scalp is itchy as anything though and driving me batty.
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...
- Joey... We should all have buns of steel by the time chemo is over from trying to keep those chemo farts under control :) Mel :)

You know when you're on chemo when you can no longer trust your farts...
