This is one of my (Brontë) favorite cancer memes so had to post it!

“I spent a lot of time trying so many different anti sickness tablets throughout my treatment and ended up on ones that would knock me out for the count. At the time I didn’t know this was normal so now seeing this meme makes me laugh and feel comforted that it’s a known joke in the cancer community.”

This image is in a meme format. It’s white against a blue crumpled paper background. The text reads ‘you can’t be nauseous if you’re unconscious’. Underneath the text is a man smiling, he is tapping at his head as if he’s saying ‘that’s smart’. On the right is a hand holding a bottle of Lorazepam 1mg tablets.

This is a screen shot of a tweet by Shane Haron - The Anxiety Specialist. The tweet is white and the background underneath is grey crumpled paper. The tweet says ‘Traumaversary, your body/subconscious is so smart it never forgets. It can even tell what date it is. You may notice around the anniversary of a past trauma that you may experience anxiety, panic and overwhelm may. This is a call to healing.’
