Off to Melbourne for the day to see Dr Kate Stern
Hi all
I'm off to see Dr Kate Stern next Tuesday for her opinion.
Lots of questions for her!
Should I change from Zoladex to Tamoxifen, and if so, will I produce eggs for harvest?
What is her...

Hi! Thanks for posting. A friend of mine, had chemo at 35 and she had 3 pregnancies (a few with issues) but which resulted in a healthy baby (though her funeral is tomorrow).
I did an egg harvest at 41 having been told 2 years earlier I was too old, and they managed to get 24 eggs. I was advised to wait 3 years before using them and now a contradictory opinion at the same hosp to wait 5 (ideally). I was on tamoxifen and zoladex. I have the option to break treatment. Pregnancy does not seem to increase risk but breaking treatment may. I will 46/47 if I follow with the recommended plan, but I'm responding to your post as it's all odds and sometimes we beat them and other times we don't. I'm still crossing my fingers, life sorts out enough to jump at the chance and I wish you well with your attempt :-)
