The Date

I chatted with my oncologist's nurse yesterday for the next steps. She told me we could  schedule everything together so I would not have to make two trips. Yes I know forty five minutes is not horrible but with the added downtown Dallas traffic no thank you;) So that day I will meet with them in the morning to go over all my home meds and last minute questions, then well go downstairs and get the first chemo treatment. The first treatment is administered over eight hours all IV, yeah no port. The other two are much shorter about hour and half. So the big start date is November 8. If all goes well my last chemo will be December 20.  I can do it about two months. After that I will have a few week break then start radiation. That will be with another doc so well finnd out about all that later.

Great news!

Well the last few weeks have been a bit emotional and busy. I told myself we could try one more round of IVF before starting treatment. We started another cycle and it went very smooth. We had our egg retrieval yesterday. I woke up from anesthesia and immediatley asked Ryan how it went. He said they got nine eggs. Tears of joy! The best news I have heard in awhile:) From the nine, we got seven embryos and they were froze today. Today I feel so blessed! One of my good friends Shelene, told me "You know this child is special he/she saved your life." I strongly feel that to be true. I honestly dont know if I would have pushed for my diagnosis and probably would have just listened to the physicians, that nothing was wrong, if we weren't already in the process of trying to have another child. I just pray one day I am able to meet this child/children:) Ok, so next I have to make an appointment to do an overview of my treatment and then well get this going. Now that its more in sight it makes me very nervous. However, I know it will fly by!
