Well it has been over a year since I posted this and thought an update was needed.
Time passed and I managed to get pregnant again only to miscarry a week after getting the positive test result. That time was much easier emotionally as I didnt feel pregnant or let myself get excited.
More time passed. I changed jobs, moved house and got pregnant again! I am now currently at 35 weeks (36 weeks on Sunday) and it took a LONG time to adjust to this one. I was beyond stressed the entire first 6 months that something would go wrong again. I told people close to me but have made no announcement on social networking. I get anxious when people get too excited for us as he isnt here safely yet but I am now super excited and cant wait to meet our little boy.
I havent stopped by here as being hormonal I was worried that I would start worrying about reoccurrence which I have managed to avoid thinking about at all so far.
I need to read up on the latest stats on Tamoxifen to see if I still want to start taking it again after he is here safely but for now I just wont to focus on staying positive. Every so often I try find success stories about ladies having children after treatment but never seem to have any luck. Would be nice to have a folder somewhere on this site where you can go for some positive stories when you are feeling a bit flat - I never seem to have luck searching key words!
Basically I am feeling a bit reflective today. The last 5 years have been extremely full on: Got married, BC + treatment, changed jobs, work was robbed at gun point twice, moved house, changed jobs, two miscarriages, now waiting for our first child to arrive. Talk about a rollercoaster!
Thank you for all of the kind words you shared on my original post. So nice to be able to post a happier update :)
