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

My story's very similar to lisa8, I had TNBC in 2008 with ACT chemo and mastectomy. Just had a beautiful baby boy in September, no IVF needed (although we've got our embryos if we ever have problems in the future)!
