The Funniest Joke EVER!
One day a young man was sat at a table in a local tavern, Two real Old Folks walk in and start talking about 'way things used to be, in the good old days'...He couldn't help but listen in on their conversation. They had obviously enjoyed their first date here 50 years ago. The young man was intrigued and moved closer. They…

psychic visit
My crazy nomadic dear sister was in town for a couple days and treated me to a visit with a psychic that she had seen a few times. Hmmm.........I went for the entertainment and with an open mind because some of what my sister had heard in the past was kind of spot on weird. She started by telling me that my mom was there,…

reconstruction question
I think I may be impatient...again. Could someone please tell me how long after having expanders removed and implants put in did your breasts take their full shape? I had surgery on April 9th. Initially I felt great. Just to have the hardness of the expanders out and the softness of the implants was wonderful. The surgeon…

Honest, I didn't write anything bad about roses, not even about their thorns. I'm trying to guess what I wrote without peeking at the edit. Any guesses? From one of my heroes who died of cancer:

I miss so much when I am away, bilirubin, questions.
It is so hard to keep up with all of you. I was at a workshop and I can tell I am way out of the loop, being gone for a couple of days. Anyway, I did get test results back today...inconclusive. They don't know why my bilirubin is high, at least the ultrasound did not give them any clues. All the nurse told me on the phone…

Nutrition for estrogen negative breast cancer
Hi friends, I wanted to let you know about some tips I received yesterday from my hospital's breast cancer nutritionist. First of all, she looked at my 3-day food diary and declared my diet perfect -- for a woman with estrogen positive cancer. Apparently, the needs of us estrogen negative women differ slightly. The…

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…

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.

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…

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…
