Cancer Update #2 TW/CW: Needles About a week and a half ago I began my egg freezing fertility preservation treatment. Treatment consists of injecting myself with 2-3 hormones every night so that we can control my ovulation cycle and retrieve mature eggs. The process has been a learning curve as it’s the first time I’ve had to inject anything into my stomach. I’m not afraid of needles but I have been so worried about messing up the doses and not mixing the medication properly. It’s also a daunting process on my body. My veins are dry and bruised from nearly daily blood draws to check my hormone levels. For anyone who has ever menstruated or has heard about the symptoms... this process is basically one long menstruation that we’re using medication to control to our will ( aka no “period” and a mature egg instead) The bloating, indigestion, and mood swings are a whole lot. I’ve also had to disrupt the delicate balance of pain meds that I have due to counter interactions. This has led to early morning nights screaming my lungs out in pain. As the tumors get inflamed without pain meds they make sure to let me know. It’s not a pain I would wish on anyone. I’m so very close to the end of this process. I can almost see the beginning of chemo. So soon I can start to rid my body of this toxic invader The ONLY reason I’ve gotten this far is with every penny of donations from you. This amazing community. I need one final push of about $2000 to finish and retrieve my eggs. It’s so important for me to be able to become a parent and have the healthiest foot forward untouched by the toxic grips of chemo. I’m grateful beyond words for even being able to get to this part in the process. And if you could help me get to the finish line I will commit all my strength once more to kicking cancers high maintenance butt. Fundraiser in bio Cash App and PayPal: dfrias13
