Baby after breast cancer
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.
