Umm rare cell A?Views: 102

I think it’s called. Anyways whatever it is, it’s faster then last time. I swear it grows a mesurable 1/2 at least per day. Thank goodness Tuesday is almost here because I think it’s starting to crush my kidney, it’s getting uncomfortable.

The idea of waiting another minute sounds like a horrible horrible bad bad idea. But what can I do? >.< Nothing really.

Oh how it worries me.

Goo Goo Dolls – Sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out

And I wished for things that I don’t need
(all I wanted)
And what I chased won’t set me free
(all I wanted)
And I get scared but I’m not crawlin’ on my knees

Oh, yeah
Everything’s all wrong, yeah
Everything’s all wrong, yeah
Where the hell did I think I was?

Hey there… Oh, honey, hang in there. So what happens tomorrow? Surgery? Are you going to need more chemo? I’m sorry your ovaries are a bit confused…

I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now. You conquered so much already, you WILL conquer this. Kick this in the ass first, and then (if it’s even an issue) we can talk fertility and adoption next. Let me just say, I have no girly parts, 6 month old adopted twins, and I still like sex. My husband loves me and loves our babies just as much as if they had his DNA.

You’re going to beat this. I’m so angry that your road has gotten a little rocky and a little longer. I’m going to check back every day so keep us updated, ok?

A great big hug from all of us over here!

I agree. Hang in there and be sure to keep us posted. I’m also very very angry that you have to go through this again. You are in my thoughts every day. Take care of yourself and NEVER underestimate your strength. You are very strong!
