Advice Needed- Delay Chemo?
Hi everyone. Got a difficult decision to make haven't a clue what to do. Got my 1st appointment with my oncologist on Wed. I've been told that chemo generally starts 1 week after your 1st appointment. The thing is I have my last chance to do 1 more ivf cycle. I should start my injections tomorrow to begin the process of stimulating my ovaries and my egg collection would be scheduled roughly 2 weeks time. This would delay my chemo for 1 week but also when I do start I would be putting my ovaries under additional strain as they will be over stimulated. Havent a clue what to do. Iv to phone my oncologist tomorrow even though I havent met him yet to see what he advises.
They didn't retrieve any eggs on my last cycle so there's every chance the outcome could be the same. ARGGH
I also need to let the ivf place know tomorrow so it looks like ill need to try and get hold of my oncologist before Wed.
