Naming your tumor???

What's in a Name?

Whatever works best for you Toni!...Naming and name calling creates a different attachment. For me personally, if I give something a name I feel closer to it, that wasn't happening! I always referred to it as the 'little blighter', a fitting old English slang term meaning a worthless waste of space!! lol!!

Mine was named Arnold

Just because every time the word "tumour" came out, my husband would say in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice "it's not a tumour!!" (a line from Kindergarten Cop"). We tried to laugh about it as much as we could. Laughter is ALWAYS good. I have to say that because this tumour was a pain in my arse, I was going to name it after my ex-husband, but I didn't want to offend my kids. lol

However, everyone deals with it in their own way. Whatever works for you! I love "Despicable Me" as well - and would love to see #2. Everytime I hear the minions during a commercial, it catches my attention. They are adorable!

Hang in there, hon. I know it is hard to learn about RCC and accept it, but once you get over that hurdle, it will be better. It sounds like you are ready to face this - and take Stewart on!!

Kardashians

We should all name our tumors after the Kardashians. What wouldn't we do to make them go away?

I wish I had named my tumor.

I wish I had named my tumor. But it just doesn't work for me afterwards. My parting comment is... As long as Stewart is not your husband,s name, no worries.. Ta dum.. Ron

Tumor names

My primary tumor (9cm ovarian adenocarcinoma) was called Gizmo. By the time we were properly introduced she already had a whole bunch of baby Gremlins hiding everywhere. This caused a lot of dumb jokes ranging from the suggestion to insert a flashlight and kill them with direct light to the almost sincere refusal to get them wet after midnight.

HHHMMMMMM

I will call mine Kain since something this evil does not deserves any status above Satin him self.

Tumor names

I like science fiction so I named my tumors Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 .  Then I proceeded to whip both their **** . With one hand tied behind my back . Didn't even work up a sweat .

Walter?

Um.... So we didn't name the primary but removal of the left kidney and lymph nodes created a wonderful hydrocele that we've named Walter.  

I named mine hewy, duey,

I named mine hewy, duey, louie and moose

I couldn't agree with you

I couldn't agree with you more, Foxy!

The Kardashians would, however, be the type of tumour to make a return, don't you think?
