Cardiologist: So, I have looked at your paperwork. You list "MBC / ILC" as a chronic condition. That's inhalation....
TC: No, sorry for the shorthand. Its stands for Metastatic Breast Cancer / Invasive Lobular Carcinoma.
Cardiologist: Oh, I am sorry. How long do you have to live? Have they given you a time frame?
TC: Not sure who the "they" are, but I am certainly frustrating the time frames that were given to me each time I declined chemo and radiation from the "they."
Cardiologist: Very good. Have they ever done a CT of your brain?
TC: WTH???? (because I am here having this conversation with you?)
I'm glad you have a good sense of humor, TC. You need it! I am speechless.

Hi Dee - it simultaneously amazes me and does not phase me. All so weird.
DeleteTC, here's a good one. I just got a notice from my insurance provider, telling me that it is time for my routine mammogram.....yes, this is the same insurance provider that paid for 80% of my bi-lateral mastectomy, nearly 4 years ago. You just gotta laugh.

DeleteThis is right up there with my "Buddy Check 12" emails I get quarterly...sigh and smile. ;-*
