Cancer Update #3 Everything is starting to feel more real with chemo a couple days away. I’m nervous for how these intense medications will affect my body. I’ve officially enrolled into a clinical trial. The trial will compare the chemo medications I would’ve normally gotten with another combination of medications that is normally given to patients who have relapsed from my type of cancer. The trail medication is super successful in these relapsed patients and has less of a chance of lasting side affects after chemo. This week I had an iron infusion to help combat my anemia. It was the first time I saw the infusion center where I’ll be going for treatments. I know I have cancer. I feel like I have cancer. But I don’t look like have cancer. Walking into the infusion center I felt a bit like an imposter. Truthfully I’ve been trying to fill my days with things I know I soon won’t have the energy for. Gripping to the last bits of pre chemo normalcy. But arriving to the infusion center, I was so aware that my pre chemo time was running out. I will get swollen, and loose my hair, and feel sick and loose my appetite and struggle with brain fog amongst many other symptoms. This is scary, but also a huge relief. I haven’t been okay in so long, but every time I leave my house no one knows how big of accomplishment that is, or how sometimes I haven’t slept in 24 hours because of the pain. As the chemo drips into my veins it’ll start melting the tumors away. This is the image I will hold onto. 12 treatments and one step closer each time. Yesterday we reached a huge milestone. I was able to retrieve 4 eggs and mark the end of my fertility preservation treatment. Two were mature upon retrieval and a third needed one extra day to get there. A fighter just like me!! Because of each and every one of you I will now get the chance to have healthy pregnancies untouched by chemo mutated eggs. There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am.
