Doctor gives go ahead to get pregnant
It is no surprise to most of my friends and family that one of the hardest things to deal with when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer was the idea that children might not be in my future. I even saw a fertility specialist before I started chemo. There was a slim chance that chemo would put me into early menopause. Thank goodness it did not. And as of my doctor appointment last week, my oncologist does not see any reason as to why Bob and I would have to wait to try for a family once my reconstruction surgeries are over.
It was the news that I had been waiting to hear since I was diagnosed. I wanted someone to say that it was OK to resume my regular life, including talking to my husband about having children. Even though I know that we won't be trying to get pregnant for awhile, it is nice to hear we can. It is just one more step into the right direction of getting my life back.
For any family members reading this, the answer is no, Bob and I are not trying right now. We are just happy to know we can!
