I am glad I found this sight

[LAURIE]

Thanks Ruth and Tousled1. You all have really given me hope. Wow Ruth you are right our diagnosis look very similar. By the way I have renamed my cancer to "my challenge" and am currently contemplating on a henna stencil design for my beautiful bald head. Maybe something festive with holly leaves and berries. That would really shock the nurses in the chemo room next week. Have any of you heard of someone having irregular periods throughout your life and when chemo started, your periods were like clockwork. I had been trying to get pregnant for years and would only ovulate once or twice a year and then with my first A/C I started ovulating regularly ever since. Sick joke, I think. Trying to get pregnant forever and now I can't. All of the doctors I have talked too have been suprised; they say that usually it is just the opposite. I don't know if my eggs are saying "let's get out of here and fast" or if the chemo has finally regulated my hormones. One thing is for sure having surgery last week coupled with swollen breasts is not making for a comfortable recovery.
