I love that you got so many eggs!! I got breast cancer at 26 and had to go through this too, wish I could have affordeore treatment but me and my partner got 4 embryos frozen
Hey Samantha! I'm just starting my cancer journey, young & with breast cancer too...Thanks for sharing your experience, it has been a great help and inspiration! Egg retrieval process here I go, but I hate those ultrasounds lol....You rock!
Wow, I knew there was a lot to that process, but that much poking, prodding, and DAILY visits to the center, yikes!!! I absolutely do not do well with needles (or anything medical clinic/hospital related in general) so it's good to know I didn't waste time considering that option--plus after my complete hysterectomy, I found out my ovaries were unhealthy so it might not have been an option for me anyway, or that it would have been covered by my insurance. I'm currently a little over a month post endometrial cancer surgery, age 33, also "too young for my type of cancer".
I am a breast cancer survivor since 2017. Invasive lobular carcinoma , diagnosed at the age of 36. Sending you love
Hello Samantha, just want to give you a big hug. I was 51 when I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer; surgery, rads & meds - so far so good.
Thank you and good luck to you :)
Whew! Way to go getting through it, Samantha! And yay for moms (etc.) who go through it with us 😊
Thanks! Hope it's going well for you

Ughhh I still cringe thinking about them. Hope everything goes well for you!
I’m so proud of you for being so open and strong
Thank you

Yeah it’s a really rough process. I’m glad you are happy with the choice you made! Hope you are doing well recovering from your surgery 😊

I've always wondered, lets say u decide not to use the eggs what do they do with them? I'm sorry if it's a dumb question😔
This is a great question! Basically there are 3 options. You can either get rid of them, donate them to someone else, or let them be used for research
@@SamanthaL So interesting! Thank u so much for replying. Take care❤
