I was diagnosed at 32, now 33. Because of my age and not yet having had kids I was referred to the fertility clinic before treatment. I think it was $5K for them to freeze eggs and embryos for 10yrs(?) But don't quote me as it was a year ago. My partner and I had only been together 18mths when I was diagnosed so I thought it strange to do embryos. I seriously considered freezing eggs. When I was diagnosed and the fear of dying hit me, not having had kids was certainly a regret in my life. In the end I decided that if I'm meant to it will come naturally. I'm not feeling medically ready yet and I think now my partner is secretly afraid of cancer coming back and leaving him a single parent, and I too wonder if it would be irresponsible. That may sound pessimistic but I'm one to trust my feelings at the time, and if I feel differently later I'll have to forgive myself. I'd say do what you feel is right for you, which I'm sure you know in your heart. Trust yourself.
All the best xo
