    EC day today. Things went fine, and we will find out tomorrow the results. Few minor issues at the hospital, like missing blood tests, missing my vein with the sedative, but otherwise ok. Got out after 2 (arrived at 7!) so pretty tired this afternoon. Things went well, but I feel a bit flat after...

    The reason I have time now to sit around and write blogs, is because I have chosen to delay treatment while I go through a cycle of IVF.

    This time yesterday morning I was a complete wreck. Sitting on a hospital bed. Hysterical. Crying. Panicking. NOT doing what my counsellor had told me to do the day before. She had said to take each part of the morning as a stage. To deal with each stage in its own right. To remember I had control and...

    It's all going wrong. Thought I'd been more in control recently. Think I was just fooling myself. This blog is supposed to be titled 'Fertility'. However, the whole fertility issue is actually the root to the way I'm feeling right now - a pile of rubble again. For the last two...

    Met with the Oncologist yesterday. She would like to start me on FEC chemo. My 'cycle' will be 3 hours every 3 weeks, 6 cycles in total. Then possibly Radiotherapy after the chemo (she hasn't had the discussions yet so is not sure whether I'll need it), but definitely Herceptin via IV...
