Catching Up
As of this moment, I am still early on in my adventure, but I've also already done A LOT.
I had a mammogram, which I will have to do every year until surgery. I have an MRI scheduled for January, which I will have to do 6 months after the mammogram and will have to switch between the two every six months until surgery. I have had an appointment with the high-risk gynecologist to make a plan for my ovaries. I get to see her every year until surgery as well. Most recently, I met with a reproductive specialist to talk about options to get pregnant again (because ta-da, I also have PCOS). My next appointments are in November. First with an endocrinologist and then with a breast surgeon (because I'm anxious and have a lot of questions and need to make a plan).
Phew! It's been exhausting, but it's all worth it. My daughter and my husband are completely worth it! I have had some AMAZING support from people that are both close to me and those who are not really close. It's incredible! Let me tell you, if you are going through all this genetic mutation what-have-you as well, make sure you build up your support group. It makes all the difference! I depend on their prayers and I thrive on their encouragement. It gives me confidence knowing that God is on my side and He's put so many people in my corner.
Three posts in one day. I know, I know! It's a lot! But from here on out, I won't be posting as much; only when there is something relevant to post. See you soon! XOXOXOX
