I'd like to say to anyone who ever has the misfortune of dealing with cancer that you need to think about freezing some eggs for the future. FAcing off against cancer the future is probably the last thing you are thinking about, but realize that cancer radiation can kill eggs and ovaries. I say this from sad experience, not mine but a friends. When she got sick all anyone talked to her about was beating the cancer and getting treatments right away. But she did beat the cancer and now she's a young woman who is cancer suvivor but can not have a baby of her own. Now her doctor is telling her there were things she could have done if only she'd known to ask.
Don't make the same mistake. try to look past the cancer, to what might come later. I know it's hard because cancer is such an unknown. juste think of it as part of teh treatement. At least ask the questions.
