In brief, the megace is having some effect on the cancer cells, as of the 3/17 biopsy. Today's biopsy did not go so well -- don't go into an endometrial biopsy with a full bladder, a helpful tip from me to you. The doctor wasn't sure she got enough of a sample for pathology to read this time, and holy hell, it hurt like a bitch. The bad news is my doctor is packing up and heading back east at the end of July. The good news is that we'll do a D&C and implant a Mirena IUD to dose localized progesterone, so that we can cut down on my oral dosage of megace... since I'm still packing on pounds :) I'm trying more behavior modification on that front, so hopefully we can actually kick this crap to the curb.
I'm not terribly happy about losing my doc, but hopefully I'll still be in good hands. Fertility-wise, we're going to see how this continues to react to the drug treatment. If I can get rid of the cancer cells and get my weight down, we can skip the whole surrogate process and I can just pop out my own puppies, though not plus 8 style please. Despite being quite sore, I'm pretty happy that we're seeing some progress.
Now, that just leaves me 3 days to clean house and get a big-assed BBQ together. Definitely looking forward to having people out here -- I just hope it's not blisteringly hot or rainy.
