I love you girl! You are amazing, and the way you've handled all of this in stride and continue to keep on keeping on is astounding.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, Melissa. Thank you so much for sharing. I started crying when I got to, "I still need to..." You deserve to do ALL of those things!

Deep Thinker - That's sad. While I'm not a doctor, I can't imagine cancer would wait a few years.

Melissa - Heartbreaking originally, but now I'm thrilled SGK has rescinded their outlook! Social media FTW!

2012-02-02T09:18:29.702-08:00

I went in for my yearly checkup yesterday and they told me about a new policy. If your last three paps are okay you don't get tested for three years. ??? I'm assuming this WTF policy has been put in place to deal with the sudden lack of funding. Like cancer will hold off on showing up for another three years.

Thanks everyone for support and kind words. The be...

Thanks everyone for support and kind words. The best thing you can do for me is share this post with everyone you know. :)

As always, you've managed to educated and entertain me with your writing. As someone who has also dealt with cancer, I am so grateful that you share your story and create awareness that saves lives. Love you, Kara!!

Thanks for making me ugly cry today.. But I needed to see this video! As I have told you before my friend, you are definitely a ROCK STAR!

Thanks Kara for continuing to share your story and spreading awareness. This message is always timing. The video is very well done. I will share it!

I just happened to stumble upon you blog :) What caught my eye was "DeFrias." I'm a DeFrias too! :) Well, after marrying my husband I became a DeFrias, that is :) Wishing you luck with your journey, as I see you've kicked a lot of cancer and IF butt so far :)

2011-07-29T22:56:44.915-07:00

Thanks, Michelle! One of my discoveries on this journey over the past year was that I'm meant to be an advocate for fertility preservation and awareness. I'm glad that things are starting to come together in a way so I can tell the story.

PS - and kudos to you, of course, for being the kind of chick who is willing to share...that goes without saying of course :) You already know I think you rock!

What a FANTASTIC idea...kudos to him for putting a face on it! I know some practicing docs who could stand to watch that video. If you are ever able to give him feedback, suggest he do one for multiple miscarriages/later term miscarriages. Some of my docs said awful things--especially after the first one, which was the latest and worst of them all.

Thanks, Tanya! I hadn't thought of using the title for a book. Maybe I'll think about writing one now. :)

2011-06-28T00:46:20.859-07:00

Here from Creme...I love the title of your post it could be a book about IF. I can not imagine having to deal with Cancer and IF at the same time you are true brave heart. To have that thought and be able to pull yourself back together is amazing.

Cheers
Tanya

That sucks. The site makes great products, but it definitely can be confusing.

A few years ago, I made a one-off mug on Cafe Press for my friend, Nar. It used a modified Starbucks logo. But, I mistakenly set up a store instead, and a few months later, got a cease and desist letter from a lawyer representing Starbucks :-)

Glad it made you smile! Thanks for the compliment....
