Hi Mimi
I was diagnosed with stage 2B IDC in Sep 2010 at age 32. I have no children and because my tumour was hormone responsive and very fast growing, they wanted me to start Chemo straight away. I had no option but to to skip the IVF as it was too risky to pump me with hormones to be able to take my eggs. That and it was going to cost $4000.00 that I didnt have!! Everything happened so fast. I hated the fact you had to make discissions right there and then. I'm so glad you have the oportunity to freeze your eggs. I finished all my treatment in June 2011 and have been on Tamoxifen for 8 mnths now. As I still have my period the Onc has now insisted I also take Zoladex implants (to suppress my overies) as well. My chances of having any children in the future is grim. Which makes me very sad but hopeful that one day I could prove them all wrong! This site has helped me tremendously. Its encouraging and empowing to know there are so many women out there that are going through a similar journey. I wish you all the very best in what ever treatment you choose. Please stay in contact and keep posting. Take extra good care of yourself!
