Life in recovery

[neffiti]

Starting LIFE after cancer perhaps is a more apt name for this forum. That's what I am trying to do (see my blog on this site for more). I was blindsided in 2006 with a diagnosis of breast cancer, but have been lucky enough to survive. There are a lot of us surviving these days, thanks to improved diagnostic methods and of course treatments too.

However the one area that could use a little work is the whole fertility thing.s There needs to be mroe information provided early on in the process about the potential side effects of the treatments. The same treatments that attach the cancer also attach the fragile systems that are responsible for fertility.

Lucky for me I heard about this before receiving any treatment. However the sad fact is I was so scared about the cancer I almost didn't care about doing anything to have some of my eggs frozen in advance. But thanks to the cool counsel of my mother and my sister, I did. And now lo and behold, here I am in a place I really did not expect to be, which is pretty much officially into recovery, and now we are preparing to take the next step, which is to try to reimplant some of the eggs back in my uterus.
Stay tuned.
