an interesting ramble before i go
the historically strong and beautiful women always die unhappy, or before their time, or both….
is this what i want?
backtrack: i am Polycystic Ovarian (in fact, quite possibly the worst case of it in my family…), which means i have cysts on my ovaries, am infertile (but not barren….get to that in a sec), and will possibly have either uterine or ovarian cancer…but here is the thing: doctors say that (based on my body and bloodline) it will be increasingly harder year by year for me to have children…and as i already am not able to without the use of Clomid, they say it will be virtually impossible for me to have children after 25. as if that wasnt enough, the general consensus (both from doctors and my family) is that if i have a child before im unable, i may begin to develop my cancer at 40 or 50…..sounds suck ass, right? but not quite as bad as if i choose not to have children, which puts my cancer development right around 30.
already my parts hurt because of the cysts…i have to take painkillers when one ruptures.
for a person of 20, this has given me quite a strain..and my crossroad is this: do i continue to persue such things as modeling…things that have so far proven to be a Good Thing (things that may give me the power i am going after? things that make me happy..) and tempt Fate to try and bring me down (i was raised by strong women who built themselves up from nothing to a positoin of power, i really know no other way to be)…and secretly hope that there will be a cure in my time for what ails me……
or on the other hand, do i follow the path of least resistance, have children, be a mommy (in this respect i cant say im not like other women…deep down i desire children, and the disease has put my bio clock in haste) and wonder what life would have been like as a stronger woman?
'adoption' you say? any woman will tell you that adoption is hardly a substitute for concieving, carrying and giving birth to one's own child..there's a magick bond there….a bond of blood.
i know deep down that i cant do both, and it pains me to feel defeat…..
