"You have breast cancer"

Hi Holly, 

Awwww, thank you SO much for your story- wow, it does sound so familiar and you hit the nail on the head about children.  Ive never been overtly maternal or seen it is my number one thing to do, to have children, but the idea of not being able to do that, it does hit home in another completely different way.  Like I said, there are many different issues that come with the cancer diagnosis that affect younger women, and the information is just not out there.  I was NEVER aware that the treatment also could come with all these hormone issues and I really feel for the women who are trying for children later in life and then get this diagnosis.

Im remaining really positive- its easy at times, as I still feel the same way I did before the diagnosis and not sick at all and then it hits me- "shit, I have breast cancer, really?, me, breast cancer".  Can I ask, how much was the IVF stuff and when exactly did you do that in your treatment?  I must admit, its something I am thinking about but I don't know where or how I would even approach the subject.

Thanks for your message Holly- keep in touch and I will too.  Lots of love, support and positive vibes being sent your way xxxxx
