Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!
www.talklikeapirate.com In celebration, I'm reposting my post from a year ago today. Don't worry, I'm NOT on chemo again! It's from last year! In the pictures you can see the tiniest peach fuzz sticking out from under my pirate scarf. Who knew it would grow into the unruly pile of curls it is today? And I have to re-warn you, some of these jokes are probably only funny to breast cancer peeps. Okay, here we go...
Yes, I had chemo (#8 out of 12!) on Talk Like a Pirate Day. But it's okay! This is the one day a year when chemo patients have the hairstyle advantage! GO US!!! But that's not the only pirate/cancer connection. Behold the following jokes:

A: AVASTin!
Q: Why did the pirate take Tamoxifen?
A: Because she was E-ARRRRRRR positive!

A: The doctor said she had clean mARRRRRgins!

A: She said she had decided to go with a large SEA.
