[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 303110, member: 2459"] That one's definately a keeper!!! Brought tears to my eyes! I think that any husband worth his weight, loves us (the wives) for US. Especially if you've been together for a long time. We might get a bit fluffy, we may not do ourselves up like we once did, we burp, we fart when we sneeze, we use the bathroom with the door open and yet our men are still here. They see us as we are but at the same time still see the 23 year old they first fell in love with. I can't imagine what it's like to lose the "girls" but if something similar happened to my husband and he lost the "boys" or something similarly vital to what he considered his manhood or man status....I wouldn't care. I would simply be grateful I still had HIM. I suspect that is what the man Mattsmom talked about was thinking. No hair, no boobs...who cares. He still had HER. She was still HERSELF, she was alive, she was cognant, she loved him....nothing else matters. In fact my husband has said something similar to me before. I had a cervical cancer scare that, while it turned out to be carcinoma in situ and easily treated, we of course started the what if game. At that point, I already knew I had fertility issues and I was scared of losing the entire baby factory. At least with infertility, you have possible treatment options. Without the parts....those options are gone. husband flat out told me he didn't care. We were facing the fertility anyway, we always had adoption options and he just wanted ME. Anyway..I'm tearing up again so insert change of subject here. LOL I'm glad to hear things are progressing in a way that is optimistic. I wish you didn't have to go through this period but it sounds like you have a great doctor and a great plan of action. We do want updates and like to know that you're doing ok but do what you have to do. Update us when you can...we'll wait. Keep your sense of humor up and have fun with what you can. Wild wigs, inventive head wear....whatever. And congrats on the house!!!! What perfect timing and I'm sure it will lessen your normal day to day worries and stress. HUGS! [/QUOTE]
