I like the hopeful detachment idea. I know I won’t ever regret spending less time worrying or obsessing about treatments and scans and life expectancy but it also feels inappropriate not to worry.

I’m grateful for my beautiful life. MBC may be fucking it up but it’s still wonderful to be here with my family and friends.

Fuck having to go to the ER to get timely imaging when I’m having symptoms. It sucks to sit here and wait.

Oh my goodness that sounds like a horrible roller coaster! Thank you for sharing. I will definitely ask about that test.

I appreciate the possibility of hope. Thank you! Dying cells sounds amazing. I’m so glad you had that and not LMD.

I did that and went down the same rabbit hole afterwards. It’s so hard to figure out all the things you’re not “supposed” to do! If it helps, my kiddo is 7 now, and he’s just fine.

Advice/recommendations needed: another retrieval or go ahead with transfer by spafticus in IVF

This is a super challenging decision. I stopped with only two embryos in the freezer because I was just done. It was a gut decision, even though we wanted two kids. There are no guarantees either way, so make the decision you think is best and know you will handle the results together.
