Babies after Cancer
Just wondering if anyone has gone on to having a baby after finishing treatment? Did they fall pregnant naturally? Or if there is anyone out there that still wants a family when they're at that time ...
One of our youngest members in our dragonboat club and her husband had a baby girl just over two years ago. Her diagnosis was at the same time as my first one - approx 4.5 years. This wonderful young lady already had a lovely little boy. He had a mastectomy, chemo and Herceptin. At the beginning of her diagnosis she was pregnant and of course lost that baby. Once her treatment was completed, and she got the okay from her oncologist things just happened naturally. I thought it was such a miracle. It looks like miracles have been happening elsewhere as well. So it is worth checking with your oncologist as to timeframes. As stated above with the hormone receptive diagnosis there might be a longer timeframe to wait. But you will never know if you don't ask. Good luck XLeonie
