Hi Ladies, I was diagnosed with TNBC in April. I have had a lumpectomy & nodes removed from my right arm. I have 4 weeks left of chemo, then 6 weeks of rads straight after & waiting on genetic testing. Has anyone out there had a baby after treatment? If so was there a wait period? I've tried talking to my surgeon & he just says its up to me. I'm feeling really confused, I really want another baby, but is it silly & selfish as I could have a recurrence? Thanks Mells

Hi Mells, I am just jumping in to let you know that there is a 'Fertility-related choices: A decision aid' booklet on our website which has information for younger women about fertility and pregnancy after breast cancer etc - http://www.bcna.org.au/sites/default/files/fertility_decision_aid_20120117_0.pdf I hope you find this information useful and are able to connect up with some others who can share their experience. ~Daina

Hi there! I'm TBNC too, but I've had my kids so really, this is just to say hi. I'm 6 years strong despite the odd hiccup, and I was diagnosed when my youngest was 4. There's some great resources here, so jump in.

Hi Mells, I had triple neg bc in 2008 and was told to wait at least 2 years before having a baby. I waited 3 years before getting pregnant and had my son in 2012. I had him naturally, no IVF and I had AC chemo and taxol. Good luck xox Lisa

I'm ER+, had lumpectomy and axillary clearance, 6 rounds of FEC and Docataxel. I'll be on zoladex for another 2 years from now (finished rads 6 weeks ago). On tamoxifen for 5 years but my onc has said that its a good possibility I can take a break after my 2 years of zoladex and try. One onc said no but another has said yes so ultimately it will be my decision in the end.
