Dear Uterus and Ovaries,
I feel like it's due time that we have a long and in-depth conversation about what has been going on. This is necessary for us to go on with our seemingly happy existence together. We have never had a big fight and you have, up until this point, treated me quite well. It's a serious conversation, so please sit down and brace yourselves for some real in-depth, conversational fun.
Hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost two years and wondering why there has not been any "scares", of any sort. We are both young so it's not like we are beating limp-dick syndrome with Cialis or using turkey basters or test tubes. Neither of us are lazy so this is a bit weird. I never knew there was anything wrong because every doctor who examined you told me that you were beautiful and perfect. Like a plush, velvet baby couch just waiting to be rested upon.
Unfortunately, having cancer did not help. Almost four and a half years of chemotherapy beat my ass flat to the pavement like a trucker over a snake in the road. I tried so hard to swallow the pain of it all...searing internal pain that would almost drop me to the ground multiple times a day. The pain of my body healing never seemed to effect you too much, Uterus and Ovaries. Or, so I thought.
Last month, Mr. Doctor-man told both Hubby and me that both of you, Ovaries, are stopping short of your years. Chemo has taken you away from me, along with my beautiful fantasies of pregnancy and natural childbirth. I am almost 31 and am in pre-menopause. Hot flashes have been no fun either. This news has been so hard for me to absorb. I am so pissed off at cancer. I am so sad because so much has been taken away because of cancer. Life is never fair or easy but damn, this is stupidly ridiculous to have to endure.
However, we remain strong and ready to fight! Hubby and I are not going to stop trying until the last egg is released and both of you, Ovaries, shrivel up to tiny raisinettes. I hope you both have enough to keep up with us! Please stay strong and remember that I love you and I truly want our beautiful relationship to continue with ease.
Sincerely, Your Owner, Christine
