Motherhood After Cancer

Donation protected
It's nothing like a mothers love! I know I couldn't be here without mine. When I was 14, I had a intense experience that changed my life and everyone's surrounding me. While others where attending high school, going to dances, going to the movies and what ever else young teens where doing, I was in and out of the hospital fighting for my life. Yes, 14 and fighting going to war with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. My right ovary and Fallopian tube was removed because a tumor larger then a football engulfed it all. Over the years I have had issues with my left ovary with cysts that were removed and some remaining causing excruciating pain. Now, 10 years later I am starting to try and live a full life starting an amazing career, and ENGAGED to a wonderful man!!! A family has been something I have dreamed of since I was a little girl, pretending with baby dolls, having god children and a niece. Oncology Doctors asked me to get a HSG test done to see if natural conception was still an option for me. Unfortunately, it was concluded that I would not be able to have the oppertunity to have children naturally! Due to all the surgeries and damaged done to the only remaining ovary and Fallopian tube I had left. The pain I have been dealing with for all these years was something I chose to do so I can eventually have babies at some point. The pain has only begun to get worse and worse as the years go by. My time strength to hold on to this is getting harder to bare. The pain is beginning to become unbearable. All my life I have dreamed of becoming a mother, having an amazing one myself was even more motivation to being one, one day! My most dreamed goalies been ripped away from me, one of the things I have always believed I was going to be amazing at! I want to hold on but I don't know how much more pain I can suffer through. So this day I start my journey to reaching a goal that I will not allow doctors to tell me I can't, to raise money so that way I can begin the process of becoming the one thing I wish to be more then anything else in this life, a mommy. As most people know IVF is outrageously expensive, so I am asking please that if it's possible to please help me to become the mother I so truly yearn to be. Cancer took my childhood but I will not let it take the rest of my life. I'm running out of time please help me before I miss my chance.
