To Fight or not to fight.??

*Warning, this post could be a bit of a downer*

So after we had a little to drink on Christmas Day my mom tells me that my dad thinks that I am not being very realistic about my cancer possibly coming back. For those of you that don't know, I was diagnosed with cancer in my neck in 2006 (2 weeks after my wedding to be exact!). I had the tumor removed and had radiation therapy and everything has been fine. I had a routine PET scan in October and a lymph node showed up on my scan. They weren't too worried about it but wanted to do a biopsy just to make sure. Well, when they did a CT to see exactly where it was they realized they couldn't get to it w/o cracking my chest open (it's behind my lungs next to my aorta). Sooo, I have to have another CT next month to see if it was just my body fighting off an infection or if it has gotten bigger and they will in fact have to go in and remove it and biopsy it.

Anyway, my dad tells my mom this (they aren't married anymore) and my mom says that I am so positive and that I give her strength. Well last night I am thinking about what my dad said and wondering if I have the strength to fight the cancer if it's come back. Oh hell, I know I will but I just feel like I keep getting shit on no matter what I do or how positive I am. Here comes the why me...
I just feel like I had the cancer and then I'm IF, it's not just infertile that I have to do IVF, it's that my freaking eggs SUCK and don't want to do what they're supposed do. How much shit can one person go through and still stay strong??

Thanks for listening to my rant. Don't worry I'm not suicidal or anything, just frustrated!

Hey there! It is Smilee from the nest! I don't think I realized that you had a blog!
I just want you to know that I am really praying that all goes well with your next testing. Cancer has affected my family a great deal, so I really HATE when I see people going through things like this.

You are in my thoughts and I am choosing to be positive right along with you! :)

I am awed by your strength, Meghan, but you're right, you've been through enough. You've been so strong, why should have to fight MORE than you already have? It's not fair, but I know you'll get through anything.

I don't have the answers, but I guess we just have to have Faith this will work our somehow. You are so amazing, I know you can get through this sucky time and onto better days. Heck, after everything you've dealt with, you deserve for the rest of your life to be a cake walk!

I am praying the lymph node is nothing & that this next IVF is when your eggs decide to cooperate, so you can start enjoying that cake walk!!
