Nurse Susan called and said that the doctor said to continue on with the same dose of meds for 2 more nights, then come back in on Wednesday morning. So, that's what I'll do. I asked her about having only 5 follicles and she said that it was fine, that the important thing is that those 5 are of good quality, and she reminded me that it only takes 1! She said to stay positive and not to let any negative thoughts enter my head. Okay, so that's what I'm going to do!
So I called Kroger and got the pleasant surprise that I just went over my pharmacy coverage limit, so I had to fork over $454.05 this afternoon. Just fabulous. From here on out, it's out of pocket for meds!
Sometimes when I do too much surfing on the web, whether it be reading other blogs, or just looking at all of those medical study sites, I start to get nervous. However, I know it will all get put back into perspective when I go visit my friend Christian tomorrow. He is my age and in he's got cancer and it has spread to his brain. I haven't seen him in almost 5 years, so I'm going to see him tomorrow and to meet his 2 little kids who are 2 and 1. We've been friends for 20 years and always had incredibly deep, emotional, intellectual conversations. I imagine tomorrow will be no different. He is fighting his battle so courageously and believes that there are worse things than cancer. As he said the other day when I was telling him about our IVF.....we all have issues. It's just so ironic that this cancer thing is rearing it's ugly head again. When my best friend Patty was diagnosed in 1999 with her second recurrence of breast cancer, Christian was the first person that I called sobbing into the phone. He was there for me during her valiant fight, and he came to her funeral too. Life is a gift and it must be enjoyed every day. So...I'm going outside to enjoy our last 90 degree day before the cool front arrives tomorrow! Until later!
