The Cancer card.
The exclusive membership you always never wanted.
“Yay it’s time for my radiation/chemo/biopsy/other hideous cancer treatment today!” —said no cancer patient ever. Living with cancer stinks – but there IS one teeny tiny silver lining:
The cancer card.
Here’s how it works: Is it your turn to do the dishes tonight but you just cannot bring yourself to lift a finger? Need an extra turn to bypass your partner’s documentary and skip right to the Real Housewives of New Jersey? Perhaps you got your laundry into the washer, but you lack the energy to fluff and fold? All these situations are ideal fodder for the cancer card. Just show your card to the closest friend or family member and voilà – skip annoying tasks and activities!
I’ve reached the un-fun part of the program. My radiation fatigue is all consuming. And my skin is pretty angry now: red, itchy, and painful.
Humor helps.
This card came in a care package from my friend. #CancerSucks
