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.

a small bottle of cheap perfume or can of body spray. can help as you can spray it about like a toilet spray to help disquide/ cover up the smell (I bought one for my Mum when she went through chemo 15 yrs ago, and have one ready in case I need it, but so far so good).
HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Try wearing the gloves before feeding the chook, cleaning up after the dog etc, to limit the amount of times you have to wash your hands, or at leas tthe length of time and vigour you need to use. and make sure you use hand wash eetc with moisturiser and moisturise yourhands as OFTEN as you can. (Take it fom a life long exercise sufferer, moisturiser is your friend ?)
