First, my boyfriend is being incredibly supportive by overcoming his fear of needles and administering my hormone injections. I seem to fall more in love with as we go on this journey together. He is truly the best man I could ask for as my life partner and my heart.
Second, my sister is my rock. She has been my hetero-life mate for years. She comes with me to all my appointments. She understands my situation because she is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and Lupus in her 20s. I'm so grateful that she is finding the strength to help me in the midst of her own challenges.
Then there are all the phone calls, texts and Facebook posts from family and friends. If you are reading this, your support is making a huge difference. Thank you. Please keep sending the messages and calls to me, my sis, and my boyfriend. This will make all the difference in the long run.
Ok. Now photo time. I've got a few to share. There is one of me as I get ready for my ultrasound. Then one of me icing my boob after the biopsy, along with my attempt to get Starbucks to sponsor me and my prototype Starbucks breast ice pack. And then a photo of the hormone cocktail that has to be injected into me for egg harvesting (not too painful--thank you boyfriend).
More updates to follow once we get test results. Next week will be epic... Potential lumpectomy and egg harvesting. Fingers crossed that it all goes ok. :)
(Starbucks owes me for this shameless promotion.)
(This is not as painful as it appears. Promise.)
