The second I saw the ocean and felt the sun on my skin, I felt like a million pounds had been lifted off my shoulders. The weight of a hard surgery recovery, of an uncertain prognosis, of infertility and all it’s uncertainty had all but vanished; left in the cold and dry and unforgiving mountains of Utah. And while I know that it all is still there, waiting for me at home, it seems a little more bearable now that I’ve had a week of saltwater and sand and time spent with my favorite person in this tiny, perfect slice of paradise. ⠀
⠀
I don’t know what awaits us this year. I don’t know what other heavy things we’ll be asked to carry. All’s I know is that life isn’t easy. It’s messy and hard and complicated. But I also know that no matter what happens, it continues to be beautiful.

Cheesing so hard after we were able to get my IV in the first try yesterday. If you know, YOU KNOW how big of a deal this was. It was an answered prayer.⠀
⠀
I can’t thank you enough for your love and support and feel like you deserve an update from the information we learned yesterday after my surgery, so here it goes:⠀
⠀
The GOOD:⠀
⠀
-Dr. Parker said that after getting a look at my mass, he feels very confident it’s not cancerous. He can’t guarantee anything until he receives the pathology report, but it was a huge relief to hear his initial thoughts after removing it. ⠀
⠀
EVERYTHING ELSE:⠀
-This was a fibroid, not a polyp and the first thing my doctor said to Dust was that it was even bigger than he thought it would be. In fact, it was so big, that it had actually caused my uterus to expand (which explains all of the cramps, pelvic pain and other awful side effects I was dealing it.) ⠀
⠀
-Pathology reports will hopefully tell us what kind of fibroid it is, but based on how fast this thing grew over the last 5 months, we think it’s a fast-growing tissue that’s hard to remove completely. ⠀
⠀
-At this point, it’s not a matter of IF this thing will grow back, but WHEN. Major bummer to hear that. We’re basically now fighting against the clock to heal and start infertility treatments before it comes back. We will be doing another round of ultrasounds to check the growth of it in about 2 months and then go from there.⠀
⠀
-If it does keep growing back, we’re looking at at least two more surgeries (each one more aggressive) to remove it. Worst case scenario? We have to remove the whole thing. Scary. But we’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it. ⠀
⠀
For now, I’m just focusing on resting, recovering, and hoping with all my heart this thing stays away for a while! Even though we didn’t get all amazing news, I truly feel at peace knowing we’re finally in the right hands with a doctor who is taking my health seriously.

Love to you all ❤️ #heytherechelsie #myvibrantlife #ttccommunity #ttcjourney #infertilitywarrior #infertilitysupport #infertilityawareness #ttcsisters

I so, so desperately wanted a fresh start and clean slate at the beginning of 2020, and to leave behind all my broken dreams and trauma behind me in 2019. But, here we are, 8 days into the new year meeting our out of pocket max on our health insurance with another surgery for my uterus on the books. Bummer. But necessary.⠀
⠀
I was chatting with my BFF @ericaligenza a few weeks ago about being in the trenches of my trials and without even fully comprehending what I was thinking, I said to her: “If I can’t control it, I won’t let it control me.” I would really like to take my own advice this year (haha) and focus more on the things in my life that I can control and try my hardest to not let things like infertility and health scares and everything in between dictate my happiness or my plans. It’s easier said than done. But I want to try. I want to find a little vibrancy in my life again. And even if we don’t get a baby in 2020, I would like to look back at this year and know I was still happy and that I did my best with what I could control.
I want to be happy again.
I hope I can.
I think I can.

In this season of “waiting” I’ve been focused a lot on the things that I want and that I don’t have. It’s been pretty destructive to my happiness, if I’m being honest.

I’m grateful for the reality check today has been, as I’ve looked around and realized all of the amazing things I do have and how beautiful and vibrant my life is. I may not have everything I thought I would have at this point in my life, but I do have a husband who loves me, a family who supports me, a job that fulfills me, and 13 years of remission behind me. I am grateful for the amazing life I have, and all of the messy and beautiful and hard things that it has brought me. ⠀
Happy Thanksgiving, friends. I hope you know how grateful I am for you. ❤️ #myvibrantlife #infertility #ttccommunity #ttcjourney childhoodcancerawareness #childhoodcancer #childhoodcancersucks #pediatriccancer #cancersurvivor #osteosarcoma #bostonchildrenshospital #thejimmyfund #danafarber #childhoodcancersurvivor #childhoodcancerresearch #gogold #gogoldforkids #survivorsremorse #survivorsguilt #chemotherapy

I had quite a few questions about the @fujifilm_instax_northamerica Mini Link printer that I inboxed yesterday, so I took it for a spin today. I snapped this photo of Teddy in front of the tree, and with literally three taps, had this cute little snapshot in my hands! Totally bringing it to work for my desk so I can look at his cute face all season long!
