Seems the healthiest thing I do in my day is pee!
I met up with a friend that I hadn’t seen in a number of years. When I first met her, she was a good time party girl from London.
We had a chat about what had been happening over the years. During this conversation I disclosed the BC saga (bad move) which surprisingly triggered a somewhat disapproving look after I mentioned the treatment that I had been through and "perhaps a lifestyle change would have been better than toxic drugs and radiation". WTF. Really?
Somewhere along the way she had turned into Mrs Natural everything, grow your own food, gym junkie, rub some kale on it whilst singing Kumbaya earth mother and proceded to give me a lecture on sustainable natural living, organics, getting in touch with my inner peace and the earth. Rolls eyes and ends conversation by asking how her husbands job is (works in coal mining) end of chat. Hehehehe.
So given that my poor lifestyle choices obviously caused the cancer and that organic food, exercise and turmeric would have cured it. I decided to have a look at a normal day just for a laugh and see how many things were on the list of 116 things that give you cancer as per “The Guardian”.
· Wake up and go pee. No problems with that one.
· Brush teeth Possible fluoride debate with toothpaste. Not on list though.
· Coffee plus Berocca chaser. Seems that’s ok.
· Face care and make up. Obviously full of cancer inducing chemicals like formaldehyde. (73 on list)
· Contemplate which class 1 carcinogen to have for breakfast, bacon or cigarette. Both in the same category so opt for obviously healthier choice in the cigarette as far less fat and calories.
· Second coffee whilst waiting for diesel fume pumping beast of car to warm up (29 on list).
· Park and walk through covered car park at work containing multiple fume pumping beasts driving in.
· Walk into outdoor air pollution (numbers 92 and 93)
· Walk under warning sign reading “This building contains asbestos”. (44 on list) Remind self not to lick or suck on walls.
· Walk past oncology unit and contemplate knowingly being injected with cyclophosphamide (62) ignore thoughts on rads.
· Salami and salad sandwich for lunch. (processed meat 39)
Frequent use of hand sanitizer during the day (number15)
· Sit in line up of exhaust pumping vehicles on the way out for 10 mins whilst stupid boom gate does not open, yet again.
· Walk dog in lovely afternoon sun. (solar radiation 106)
· T bone and salad for dinner. Red meat, bad naughty, on bbq grill at high heat even worse causing benzopyrene and other toxic chemicals (48)
· Glass of wine with dinner Alcohol (22) Resveratrol =Tick. Negates bad alcohol score I believe.
· Pop Tamoxifen pill (number 108 on the list)
Shower and moisturize (number 73 again)
Bed
So there you have it. The only safe thing to do in your day is drink coffee and pee!
This was the meme that was shared on her facebook page that afternoon. Was that for me?????? LMFAO

- BlackWidowMemberOh yes, the well-meaning natural-living types can be a bit like some bible-bashers - they know it all, of course. BC certainly attracts a range of opinions on things some really know nothing about. If we all disregarded our medical team I wonder where we would be ? 6 foot under probably. We all know we may have eaten or done something not 100% correct in the past and sometimes we have unavoidable stress but we all try to do what we can now with the proven knowledge we are given. Me ? Wine ? Oh, yes, please !!! Gotta have some pleasures in one's life now.
Hope all are travelling as well as can be expected during whatever stage of this saga you are on. <3 - Brenda5MemberIt is hard to change a lifetime of vices over night and life is too darn short to bother with it any way. If I like it then I eat it. Kale is not on my list of likes. :)
- AllyJayMemberI've posted this meme before, but it still applies.
- Milly21MemberDon’t think I will read that list
- Milly21MemberHaha ,my day would be pretty similar, haha ,fancy putting that picture up that very afternoon,
- ZoffielMemberYep, I've listened while the well meaning (I sometimes doubt that) strap themselves into the ejector seat, wait util I can no longer bear the wellness/mindfulness victim blaming babble then pull the lever. Kapow! Get out of my life you nitwit.
- kmakmMemberI don't get it very often. Having a sister who died from breast cancer who was a vegan or vegetarian for her entire adult life, ate organic food as much as possible, didn't smoke and always exercised, plus breast fed her children, means that people who go there are on very thin ice. I have turned on my heels and walked away from that shit. Sure, some of these things are risk factors, but as we know they are not causative of breast cancer. That remains pretty much unknown.
Next time she tries it tell her 'Your ignorance is making my blood pressure go up, and that will cause a heart attack, so for the sake of my health I'm leaving now'.
Infuriating. :# - SarnicadMemberOMG if I had a dollar for all the do gooders spouting their “health” garbage I’d have enough money to cure cancer
- iserbrownMemberSilly silly girl!
What do they say! - arpieMemberFFS!! I reckon that's the last time you'll be catching up with HER!, @kezmusc !??
Yep - she can take that kale & shove it where the sun don't shine! (Almost sounds like a song!!)
Stupid woman.
Take care xxx
