My mom goes on Monday to the oncologist to see what stage her cancer is at. So far they found 2 lumps. Ladies forgive me as my mother is the only blood relative I have, and this is very painful for me because it is she who gives me such strength and hope to continue this ttc journey everyday. She wants a grandchild to love so much, and she swears she will not rest until we have a little one to love. Please pray for good news for her, she is so strong and giving. She is an infertility survivor herself and has always been interested in hearing your stories, when she is here she reads the posts with me and cheers you all on too. Please return her that cheer.
