Chemo Eve

Heard back from my oncologist and I am a Stage 3! My blood levels are all within normal ranges. There is some involvement in my bone, spleen and lungs. 
I've started to develop some stabbing chest pain in my left lung on inspiration. According to my PET scan, some nodes have grown since my CAT scan in early July which is probably why I've had some increased discomfort.  
I went to the Fertility Planning yesterday with my Mother and can I just say...phew it was exhausting. In order to freeze my eggs I would have to give myself daily injections followed by the eventual retrieval of the eggs. The retrieval process involves a long needle going in places needles shouldn't go. I have so much respect for those who have to undergo fertility planning. It is not easy. All in all, I am not going through with it. For the process to be complete, it could take a minimum of 2 weeks. My oncologist and I both agree that starting chemo is necessary at this time.
Port tomorrow morning and Chemo following! It feels so surreal. I can't believe we are actually starting! 

Cheers!

  2. Dear Sarah,

    Erin told me about your diagnosis and I am very sorry that you and your family will have to take this journey into the world of oncology. You will need your FIGHTING Blue Hen spirit to beat this. You have not said here where you are being treated.

    I was touched by what you said about your mother in your first post. Believe me, your mother would gladly trade places with you if she could; I know this because I have walked this path with my daughter. You will try to protect your mother and she will try her best to help you. It is the cost and the strength of love that you are so connected. Stay strong and, if some days you can't, that is OK because Team Sarah will be strong for you. You and your mother will be in my prayers.
