So you may be wondering- if I was diagnosed nearly two weeks ago, why am I not starting to get this cancer OUT of me already? Well, for a few reasons. First, it took a few days to get me in to see the Sloan Kettering doctors. But the MAIN reason is because of this thing called fertility preservation- we’re trying to get some good eggs out of me so we can freeze them and hopefully have kiddos after all this, just in case chemo fucks with my reproductive system. I won’t go into the details of how I’ve been shooting myself up with hormones here, but the long and short of it is that, a) science is cool, b) everything will wrap up on Monday, and c) hopefully we’ll be freezing lots of potential Val and Greg’s for future use. Here is a photo of one of the needles I've been sticking in my belly every night:
It's a little stressful to mix the meds together, but the shots don't hurt at all! After this wraps on Monday, chemo treatment starts on May 30th. So what’s the deal with that? More in my next post!
With love,
Val
