Well obviously, where cancer is concerned, chemotherapy and radiation are the best medicine. But you really can't underestimate the healing power of laughter. Even during my darkest times throughout the last few months, I've laughed a lot. Whether it's putting mascara on my five remaining eyelashes, making up my own chemo lyrics to famous songs, or wearing the huge prison-issue smock that you have to wear to radiotherapy, there have been some real belly laughs. Cancer is pretty serious, but you don't have to take it seriously all the time! Amanda.
Laughter is by far the best remedy and laughter with a fellow chemo buddy is even better. Trust me, they will just 'get you', like nobody else would understand. Friends can laugh with you but it's not the same as when you and your chemo buddy laugh about comparing eyebrows and eyelashes or the various stages of hair growth, from fluffy chick hair to errmm longer fluffy chick hair!!
Keep on laughing, keep on smiling, this lesson has taught us both that life is way too short to be serious and miserable! Debbie.
