2nd golf joke
A golfer teed up his ball on the first tee, took a mighty swing and hit his ball into a clump of trees. He found his ball and saw an opening between two trees he thought he could hit through. Taking out his 3-wood, he took a mighty swing. The ball hit a tree, bounced back, hit him in the forehead and killed him. As he…

recreational drugs joke
Each new patient at the clinic where I work must fill out a questionnaire asking basic health and personal-history questions. One query that inevitably gets a "No" answer is, "Do you now use or have you ever used recreational drugs?" We were unprepared for the response of a young newlywed who wrote: "Yes—birth-control…

It took a long time for this to dawn on me ..but I watched a christian movie at the Nursing Home about dogs going to heaven.

Need help with prosthesis
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice about how to make my prosthesis (I hate that word must be a better one, maybe breast replacement) more comfortable. I had a right mastectomy 4 weeks ago. I am healing well and was told I could start wearing the weighted prosthesis. I was fitted at the hospital boutique for the…

golf joke
Police are called to an apartment and find a woman holding a bloody 5-iron standing over a lifeless man. The detective asks, "Ma'am, is that your husband?" "Yes" says the woman. "Did you hit him with that golf club?" Yes, yes, I did...” The woman begins to sob, drops the club, and puts her, hands on her face. "How many…

Oncotype DX test billing
Anyone else out there who has had the Oncotype test and is having trouble with your insurance covering it? Anthem Blue Cross applied it to my Out of Network Deductible, but Genomic (the lab in California that did the test) claims they are the only lab in America that performs this test, so it should not be considered "Out…

Please tell me this is not true
My grandkids other grandmother told me that if I have rads or chemo that I won't be able to be near the kids ages 1,3,and 5 years old. Oh my God, this would be a nightmare for me. Is this true.

Mothers Day Joke..Yes I found time,
I got the day off so I figured I'd bombard you all with more of my warped sense of humour... A medical one this time (Just to try to stay in concept) An Old man walks into the docs and says to the receptionist "My John Thomas isn't working right, can I see the Doc?" The receptionist gets all snotty and tells him "You can't…

I've been trying to change my picture on the message board and it won't change! I can delete it but can't seem to get the new one in.

Celebrate with me!!
This stage IV cancer has not beaten me yet! I went for a checkup yesterday and my new drug to my body (Xeloda) is reducing the cancer markers ever so slightly. This old body is going to keep kicking just like that mean stuff is trying to kick me. The word, HOPE, keeps us all going and our strong faith in family and God.…

Done with rads!!!!!!
I finished my radiation treatments on Wednesday!!!! Happy feet dance since then, with lots of breaks 'cause I'm still tired and sore and nauseous! My skin should feel better by Sunday (according to the nurse). I did well until the last 2 boosters. Lots of water and I took a cod liver oil supplement - it's good for the…

"hormonal"crying
For all of my adult life, I have occasionally cried at "nothing" and I've always attributed it to my hormones. Now I'm on Tamoxifen, and it will be stamping out my hormones to starve the cancer. So when I cry for nothing now, or feel weepy--what do I blame it on? I can't believe my crying jags are over. Lisa
