So, My friend, who we will call "Mary", had her "tumor board" yesterday. Sounds nasty -it is. They discussed her like a vaguely interesting lump of meat, apparently. So I wanted to cheer her up. Over recent weeks I've been educating her about lolcats and internet memes and the like. The cancer nurses laughed so much at the cancercats, she went ahead and posted both on her site. So when she checks her site tomorrow, she's going to find this:

of course it should have said Brianna rather than Christina Applegate, but i guessed even Radar might get this....

How is it possible that healthy people can get cancer? Despite healthy people eating the right and healthy foods with good exercise, how is it possible that these people who take good care of themselves get cancer?

You're about to sell us some amazing, but expensive and foul tasting, healthful beverage to keep us all from getting cancer, aren't you?


Just in case you're not ... if some scientist could figure that one out, he would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

Trouble is, there's no money in the cure...only money enough for that one scientist. :(

Can you be there when she gets out of surgery, monster?

monster 10-05-2009 07:02 PM

I could but it is not required. Her hubby and too many family will be there and she doesn't want a crowd of gawkers but can't/doesn't want to tell them to go away because they're only there because they care. It's an outpatient surgery, for petes sake. i have visions of them all trooping back to her house funeral procession style once she's given the Ok :lol: I'm doing the phone notification.

.....Funreal for a boobie. could use a rollerskate as a hearse..... she's donating it to research, actually.

Hope everything works out for the best.
Like it or not - I'll pray for her.

monster 10-06-2009 10:32 AM

Thanks. Suregery due to start RTFminute. I'm sure it's all fine.

You rock Monnie!!! Just got a call from my doc I have several large fibroids - no wonder I feel fat! If they turn out to be cancerous, will you be my friend?
