Mixed Emotions

Today was the big day to return to the doctor. I was cleared from doctor's care today and told that I have bronchitis. I'm just glad it's not pneumonia again. I just can't wait to get feeling better. I'll start a Z-pack again and should feel better soon.

Now to what everyone really wants to know about. The stuff they got out was precancerous all the way around. I'm glad it wasn't cancer. I am going to be on birth control for 4 months. They don't want to run the risk of pregnancy and uterine cancer. They want to see if I can continue to shed the rest of the precancer on the lining. At that point I will have another biopsy, not looking forward to that, it hurts! If the biopsy comes back with no precancer we will move forward with fertility drugs and trying to get pregnant again. If precancer still appears the only other option is hysterectomy. I will go in right before my 30th birthday. I told Branden maybe that could be my 30th birthday present.

My feelings are kind of mixed. If we do the fertility drugs then it's back to the guessing game and the emotional roller coaster that goes along with it. At the same time, if I don't have regular cycles I have a high rate of developing uterine cancer, but they have not way of telling when. He said it could be 6 months from now and it could be 20 years. Even with cycles I still am at high risk. If I have a hysterectomy the guessing game is gone and all the PCOS issues along with it. At the same time, that means we're absolutely done. I guess then maybe we'll explore other options as a family.

Either way, I'm happy to be alive and to have a good husband who is always there to help and support me and assure me that the money put into my health is well worth it. I'm also grateful for a wonderful son who loves me unconditionally and is quite helpful. I love my family so very much. I'm also grateful for a mom and dad who are always watching out for and praying for me. I know they are always there and I really couldn't ask for better parents. I'm grateful for my siblings, in-laws, grandparents, and friends who help give me the strength and support that I need. I am one blessed girl and truly grateful for all that I have.

I've been reading a little on your blog about what you've been going through and reading more about your PCOS. I too have PCOS and know exactly how frustraighting all of it is, the trying to get pregnant, the pills, the weight gain, it is no fun at all. I have the PCOS workbook and I love it!! I definitly recommend it, I just bought it off amazon. If you ever need anything just give me a call (I'm in the ward directory) and I hope you get better from your bronchitis soon. If you need me to make you dinner or something I'm always around and I would be happy to help out! See you soon!
