Post MDA Visit w/Dr. H

So I've recycled a photo that I've posted earlier this year of Dr. H.  This is my oncologist that came to see me the day after I was diagnosed on her day off.  She encouraged me to see a doc at MD Anderson because I asked her six months ago during my last check up with her about fertility.  She wanted me to see if the MDA folks would find it safe for me or give me a green light if that was the path that was chosen for me.  

Today we checked with my insurance company and thankfully they will cover the P53 test.  Step 1 check!  Its not a standard test so no one really knows when the results will come in but I can only assume it will be about 10-14 days.

Step 2 will be to see Dr. Neyman to see if we can tell how my ovaries are doing in terms of egg production.

The outcomes of Step 1 and 2 are super important but so is Step 3, if not the most important:

Step 3 will be to find my life partner.  Regardless of step 1 and 2, my hopes and dreams would be to find my life partner.  I have a small window of opportunity to possibly conceive naturally BUT I also know that this cannot be rushed and this is a journey that I will not do on my own.  Many single moms are rockstars and Dr. H told me that "Aren't we all single moms?" but it's not something I would choose to do on my own from the get go.  

I thought this year would be the first year not to reach my deductible but I think I'll hit it by the time I finish up  w/ Dr. Neyman.  More to come!
