So...beating cancer wasn't enough for one year, we had to go and get pregnant too. We've officially been "trying" for two months. Does it really happen that fast? A friend of mine told us which days to "try" and after following said advice - we created life.
I took the test while visiting San Francisco this past weekend. It was horrible to have to give Rene this wonderful news over the phone (as he has been in Dallas on business for a couple of weeks). My friend Sabrina was there to witness the pee stick. The rest of the weekend was spent telling all my friends and family from back home the great news.
This year has been such an insane rollercoaster. It was exactly yesterday 11/15 last year that I first noticed my lump. I joked earlier this year that I found and beat cancer in less time than a pregnancy. Well, I guess its my chance to prove that.
For any of you that may be worried about my health. I am feeling FANTASTIC! I've actually never felt better. Rene had wanted to make sure that we had approval from the doctor prior to starting this journey. I had a PETscan in September that proved clear of any signs of cancer (yippee!) and we asked if we could get pregnant. The doctor said that normally he would like his younger patients to wait 2 years but since I was right at that age (after 35 poses a lot more health risks to me and the baby) so he said he couldn't see why there would be any reason to not get pregnant. I have another scan scheduled for January but we will have to do an MRI instead since we don't want to create any mutant X-men with the radioactive injection with the PETscan.
