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 nex...
Harmony, hello it is Megan here, the one that went on to have 2 children (9 and 11 now). We waited the 5 years as well before trying, and we had the total support of my oncologist. For me personally it was the best thing I ever did. Clearly after the chemo, I was still fertile enough to fall pregnant. I had another diagnosis in 2012 that was not related, it was not a re-occurrence, it was a new diagnosis, so just bad luck. My decision was based on my GP and Oncologists support, but really I followed my gut. The other thing I would say was it was a large consideration for my husband, who was probably more worried about the potential negatives in regards to falling pregnant. The 'what ifs' were huge for him. All the best and happy to connect any time. Its a great network for that. Megan
