Hi Lucia
My situation is different to yours. I am 42 and have never been keen on having kids. Nevertheless, before getting me to make a decision about chemotherapy my surgeon made sure I was referred to a fertility specialist because I am pre menopausal. If you havent been referred yet, then I recommend asking about it. There is an implant called Zoladex available to protect your ovaries during chemo. As well as egg harvesting there is the option of harvesting ovarian tissue for re-implant when the chemo finishes. I think the options depend on the pathology of your cancer too i.e. is it oestrogen/progesteron/HER2 positive or negative? There is good info on all this in the free My Journey kit avilable from BCNA and also on their website.
Take a little time to do some research, talk to the professionals and make a decison you are happy with. All the best with your ride!
