After spending the morning over loaded with information I was then told they would try and get me into the fertility specialist today to talk options.
It was 2pm and I had been awake since 4am so was getting a little tied but needed to talk to the doctor, we didn't need to wait long and were shown to the consultant rooms where I was asked what was the case so far explaining the situation for what felt like the 100th time.
He then asked the personal details of my cycle and when I am due next, as it turned out timing wasn't in my favour to save my eggs as I had wasted 6 weeks with the doctors incorrect diagnoses so waiting another 6 weeks for my next cycle and then 2 weeks of hormones etc really wasn't an option.
This was hard to swallow as we had decided to try having another child next year it was hard but me and my partner talked about this and decided that I would rather fight this with all I have and be around for the beautiful child I have than waste another 6 weeks for the possibility that it wont work.
And there are always other options of fostering as there are a lot of children in need of some love. So that was one obstacle that we had over come all in one day but at least I knew up front and know when I go in to see the Oncologist that there will be no need to wait to get my treatment started.

I'm so sorry Elisha. Thinking of you guys.
Hi, I saw your blog here through a friends fb post, and I just want to say how brave you are to be sharing your story, and hopefully encouraging other women to be more aware of changes in their bodies ~ and to always ask for a second (and third, if necessary!) opinion! I wish you all the luck in the world in overcoming your battle with breast cancer...Thankyou for sharing! :o)
That's true Elisha, Ethan is wonderful and it will be great for you to see him grow up. As you said there are other options for kids, but now your health is the most important.
