Yes, it's official, I hate Fertility drugs! They have in fact kicked in. The past few days have been interesting, luckily for Chad he has been on the cruising detail on Broadway for Derby, so he's out of dodge. Basically I feel horrible, I'm nauseous, my lower abdomen and pelvis are cramping (due to my ovaries and follicles getting much bigger), headaches, fatigue and a really crappy mood. Thanks to my mom, I did make it to the Derby parade on Thursday with my nephews, and I had a good time, but it took alot of tears to get me there. I will cry for no reason at all, or because I don't feel good and I feel sorry for myself, and now, instead of dying to get out of the house due to boredom, all I want to do is stay in bed. I have also have cravings...a few nights ago I made Chad take me to Dairy Queen for some ice cream, yet some foods make me feel sick to my stomach.
At my ultrasound this morning my follicles looked really good and they are hoping to harvest them on Tuesday, so that is some good news.
About Me
- Alicia
- I'm Alicia. I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer 10 days after my 27th birthday. Although my mother was diagnosed and treated just 8 months ago for invasive breast cancer (she's a survivor!)I had my own fears to tackle at my young age. After researching online and not finding anything that pertained to my age (very young)I decided to start a blog. My hope is that other very young breast cancer patients can have a resource, a place for comfort, to know they are not alone during the scariest and most confusing fight of their life. I also wanted an outlet that family and friends could keep up with Chad (my wonderful and very supportive husband) and myself as we may be too tired or overwhelmed to chat on the phone. But most of all, I wanted to journal my fight aganst cancer, so that when I am a survivor I can look back and remember the pain, fear, support, love, and courage I went through to become a better, stronger person! I hope you keep up with my blog and send me comments and e-mails, and enjoy it as much as I will enjoy making it.
