Hi Marina, what a champion you are. just reading your story I can tell you're a very grounded, strong person. You'll be such a great mum with all your life experience.
I'm sorry for you that you had to have all this to deal with just when you had your first child. That's huge in itself let alone having to deal with cancer. I had a child with Cystic Fibrosis and it devastated me for the first 12 months of my child's life and then had to choose whether I would do it again with a one in four chance of another child with CF. It's different to your situation but similar in that another pregnancy takes a lot of consideration. I was really jealous of others who were footloose and fancy free with everything.
I have a friend who had her ovaries out at 40 yrs old. She's done really well. Just hot flushes bother her. there's lots you can do to help with bone density. I used to do zoledronic acid infusions for people with severe osteoporosis. they work really well.
All the best. Glad you're on this site. i'm finding it a great source of comfort and support.
Cheers, Catherine xo
