Children after a diagnosis
hi ladies,
wow it's been a while since I posted on here, it's great to be able to jump back on and ask some questions.
I'm 4 years post diagnosis now and are thinking of having another child next year- after I finish my five years on tamoxifen. I've been told by my doctor that it should pose no threat to my health to do so, but I am still a little scared. My son was only 15 months old when I was diagnosed at age 32. And I'm scared to get all that oestrogen pumping through me again in case the cancer comes back. Even though I've been told it probably won't. I'd love to hear from women who HAVE gone on to have children after a diagnosis and how that is working out for you. I'd also be keen to hear from women who have been told NOT to get pregnant and why this is. I will be 38 when I'm able to try but I have my 32 year old eggs frozen so I would probably try with those. I'm not so worried about fertility as I've always been so fertile but more concerned about recurrence.
I just read an old issue of the beacon magazine which had an article in 2004 where Megan James had her child after being diagnosed. I would love to hear from you Megan if you're out there.
I would really love to hear from all of you.
Thanks so much!
