Andrea Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Debi, I just want to thank you b/c I just realized I am using your idea, Lung Cancer may be only a breath away as the theme for my lung cancer booth. I knew I got the idea from somewhere and just searched and found where I would LOVE to say "Cancer Sucks" or "Have you gotten a chest xray? Yes? Well don't relax, you can still have lung cancer" or "Was that a cough? Have you been tested for lung cancer?" but my mom said those would be offensive. I STILL like the idea of a sign around her neck saying "don't i look good? well i have advanced stage lung cancer and i had no symptoms. is it growing in you too?" But she said no!

Snowflake Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Andrea, In your mother's defense, I don't blame her for not wanting a blazing "cow bell" around her neck tolling her disease... I WILL wear a T-shirt or hat that says "CANCER SUCKS", but to list out my diagnosis, prognosis, etc., is just too much to share with any stranger on the street. Get her a T-shirt....tell her that part of the proceeds went to cancer research (on the Choose Hope site, they do)...she just might wear it...

Andrea Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 I can see her point about the shirt too The thing is my mom is soooo beautiful and does not look sick at all, it is almost a shock value to people when they hear what she has. They don't believe it. She did lose 50% of her hair, but she had a lot to begin with and with the magic of a great haircut, it just is incredible. She will carry the tote I am doing. She won't wear t-shirts, she does not like how she looks in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Debi, I will send you a bag when it is done My mom is the one who mad the final selection of the phrases I have her. She thought your phrase was very classy and to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
