Childless not by choice – How can you help someone?
Throughout the last year we’ve kept up hope that we’d get past my cancer and be able to move on to fertility treatments. Obviously this was not the case and I am now recovering from my hysterectomy and dealing with not just recovery from a major surgery but also the emotions and grief that…

Full steam ahead
I know some people don’t believe or like to be told ‘things happen for a reason’. I’m not one of those people. I firmly believe that everything does happen for a reason, and the choices we make lead us somewhere for some particular purpose. Whether the purpose is to learn not to make that choice…

7 weeks

Overwhelmed
(Warning: there’s a lot of sarcasm in this post!) I’ve been working so hard at trying to stay positive that maybe I’ve lost track of processing everything. Or it’s the side effects of my meds. Either way… today I was fine, until I wasn’t. Whether it’s the progesterone wreaking havoc, I am starting to notice…

The C Word
Cancer. I have cancer. There, it’s out there. Before I get into it, I AM OKAY. It is NOT life threatening or fast spreading. It’s just a tiny bit of cancer. No biggie.
