60% of the time, it works every time....

Rob and I just came from the fertility specialist. By far, the most mind-numbing appointment of this process. Maybe it was that fact our day o' appointments started at 6:30 am and we're just now (at 1:30) getting home. Or maybe it's that, even though they don't actually test you for anything, the appointment takes two hours. Or it could be because clear and direct answers are not their specialty, but that was just awful!

What we did find out, though, is that after a pre-menopausal woman such as myself finishes up cancer treatment, she has a 50% chance of early menopause. This could be considered disconcerting for anyone who thinks they may one day want to have children. In which case, you have 3 choices for bettering yours odds of not going into menopause and having a kid. 

1. Adding a medication called Lupron to your cancer treatment regime. This is a good thing anyway, because it can help protect your ovaries during chemo. 
2. Harvest and freeze your eggs. 
3. Harvest your eggs, fertilize them, and freeze your embryos.

If you decide to freeze your eggs or embryos, and then decide not use them, you can donate them to science. You could also donate them to a family member. But you can't anonymously donate them to an infertile couple, because you have cancer and nobody wants your crummy eggs.

Oh, and then I almost lost my shit when Rob and the fertility doctor started a conversation about shark attacks. 

But now for the goods news!

Todays's bilateral MRI, right mammogram and right ultrasound shows that all is well in the eastern hemisphere. 

Can I get a HELL YEAH for having one good boob?!?
