The Good, The Bad, and the Unlucky

THE GOOD:

Tomorrow is my egg retrieval! I have about 70+ eggs in my ovaries right now and they're going to take out as many as possible, they have to be a certain size to be considered mature. They said out of 70 I'll probably get 30. The best news is after chemo if I end up not needing them I can donate them, which I think is pretty cool because thats a lot of eggs to throw away. Also I cut my hair today!!! 12 inches off! and died a chunk pink :D which i love and will probably redo after it comes back this summer!

THE BAD:

So my pathology came back from my biopsies and I have three more tumors in the same side :( and they're more aggressive then the first so that leaves not options other then a mastectomy at this point. That means total removal of all breast tissue and well new foobs! (fake boobs) which isn't the worst thing in the world ;) This process seems pretty positive but its actually really rough and takes place over the course of 4-6 months or so. They have to put expanders under your chest muscles to make room for implants, and fill them up a little more every other week. Luckily I can do this during chemo so I'll be so drugged up it wont be as rough.

THE UNLUCKY:

More surgery means chemo is postponed again, and I'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days after which means no Zoey or Oliver :( but it shouldn't be more then a couple days, and I will most likely have more then fuzz on my head by May for my 24th birthday :D

Most importantly even after my first cancer hurt, when I started having pain again my dr. had the nerve to tell me cancer doesn't hurt. AGAIN he was wrong.. they all were. The odds were in my favor and I still defied the standard and statistics. The face of cancer is changing, and the most important advice I can give is DONT no matter what ignore your INTUITION! ... mine saved my life.
