When does the crap end

This journey is ever ongoing, got access to egg bank on Friday which was a step forward. Fast forward to Saturday my mother telling me she had stage 3 bowel cancer. While you want to be positive every family member including my father who I know to have had cancer has died from it. How to deal with this as well as fertility treatment? Wait, but at nearly 41 there isn’t time left. How many times is it possible to keep picking your self up?

I am so sorry to hear this. My heart is aching for you. There really are no words. I can let you know though, that you are not alone. My second mother/ step mother (I don’t like the term because she’s absolutely my mother), was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in October. I remember the fear you must be feeling right now. Up until now I had never known a survivor either, but she did kick cancer’s ass and is finished her treatment. Immunotherapy now. The journey isn’t over yet but it’s not as daunting as it once was. Science has come such a long way. From the bottom of my heart, good luck to you ♥️
