Hi again everyone, and thanks again for all your encouragement. It's comforting to know that you guys understand, and I'm not the only one who feels like I'm going mad sometimes!
My most recent diagnosis is NHL, with a B grade tumor behind my sternum. I've kind of stopped researching stuff as it's rather depressing. I just let my doctor email my Aunt who I live with, and my partner as well, so that everyone is kept in the loop. So now I'm on 2 different regime's of chemo, an getting external beam radiation on my neck, and on my remaining ovary, as it turns out it needs to be removed as well, so I'll be getting a full Hysterectomy at age 28. I'm upset because I feel like not only is my femininity being taken away, but so is my youth. I've always wanted a big family, and now it seems like my partner and I will just have my daughter, and his son. That probably sounds ungrateful - which in no way am I - it's just hard giving up on a lot of dreams. Adoption is so expensive, as is surrogacy, so I think it's almost like a grieving process I need to go through.
I also have low platelets. Anyone else had this issue? I've got massive bruises etc and it's not pleasant. I'm just wondering how common it is, and if it's more common with NHL?
Take care all,
Joanna xo
