Hi Everyone,

Since nobody seemed too offended at us naming my tumor I will share the name that we picked. We went with a very simple name. We call it Tommy the Tumor. My three year old grandson overheard us laughing about this and he went to daycare and told them that his Grandma had a baby growing in her head and its name was Tommy the Tumor. My daughter made me go in and explain this whole thing to the ladies at his daycare. Once they got over the shock of hearing I have a tumor, they could not stop laughing about naming it. They did say that it was pretty sick though.

Oh, I'm in.  I named a big sebacious cyst that I used to have on the top of my head "Bob" (In fact someone actually asked me if "Bob" caused my AN!), and I've been trying to come up with a name!!!!!  That is so funny!!!!  I'm thinking Morty, since if I remember my high school French correctly, mort means death, so death to Morty the AN.   Oh, maybe that's too much of a jinx.  Would hate to get that screwed up.

Hey Gennysmom,

Let's see now two growths...one head....I think that I would be very careful what I name anything after that. Maybe come up with the French word or words for "enough is enough already!" But then again I do like how your mind thinks...maybe great minds think alike or its the tumors...ha ha ha

That's true, for my next feat  **** ta da *****  I'll probably get a big ole wart on my nose.  You can call me Glenda now. 

OK Capt, I can decypher but it makes no sense...must be a colloquialism....from what I remember you're saying "want/desire is want/desire, now!"   Best be splainin' yourself.  French was 23 years ago.  I'm rusty.

Phyl Billy bob  NO NO NO...reminds me of Billy Bob Thorton and he's just too darn creepy. 

I think we should name it Matthew :o

Dski...sorry if this thread offends you.  Some of us need some comic relief at times to get through the downside of our AN's.  Like Phyl said if it offends then don't read the thread and while you're at it you might not want to read the good morning thread either. 

Karla, I like tommy the tumor...sounds like a childrens story book to me.

True, but like I said, laughing is good, that and chocolate have helped me through the most.  You guys make me laugh and I enjoy reading as much of these boards as I can keep up  with!

Batty,  I grew up in Philly, but moved to the suburbs about 7 years ago.  Should have done that sooner.  Philly used to be a nice place, not so nice these days.  FYI, some city  blocks are much bigger than others, depends on the neighborhood.   ;)

along with "well at least" are the people who say "at least you picked a good type of tumor to have"....somehow I never considered using "tumor", "type" and "good" all in the same sentence, most of all when it comes to my brain.
