Yeah!!!! I have finished my injections for Fertility! I took my last shot last night. They have scheduled to do the harvest Tuesday morning. I couldn't be happier, not because it is exciting (what's exciting about harvesting your eggs when all you wanted to do is be healthy and pregnant at this time), but because I am so ready for these symptoms to take a hike! The past few days I have been sooo nauseous. It hits mid afternoon and all I want to do I go to bed so I can forget about it, but tomorrow is the big day.
I don't really now much about the process, other than they consider it a surgery because they will have to put me under to do the procedure. Then I go to recovery for a couple of hours, then home to lay in bed for a day or two.
My next expansion is scheduled for Thursday, so that should give me enough time to recover from that before the dreaded pain of expansion hits again (but this time I can take better medicine for it, before, with the egg harvesting I couldn't really take much).
My goal for the day (I don't normally have daily goals) is to shower and get to work and back before the nausea kicks in (I plan on driving myself, I'll let you know how that goes!). Its been a few weeks since I've been to work, and believe it or not, I really want to go back. I really want a routine again, but I know that is unlikely for the next 5 months.
Chemo is creeping up, only 17 more days.
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.
