I was fortunate to have very thoughtful doctors when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. I was able to freeze 4 embryos, via in vitro, prior to chemotherapy for invasive breast cancer. I had another 3 blastocysts from an in vitro round before I knew I had cancer. After I was done with treatment, we hired a gestational carrier. She gave birth to my daughter, and 3 years later, to my boy-girl twins. I feel like a trailblazer in this area because my oncologist was concerned about me undergoing IVF prior to chemotherapy. However, I went to a fertility specialist who had worked with cancer patients before. He stimulated my ovaries while also giving me letrozole, an aromotase inhibitor, to keep the estrogen levels down in my blood. My oncologist discussed my case with the team of breast cancer oncologists. They agreed that, theoretically, I would be protected.
thank you for this article so true and i appreciate what you have written. Totally agree with your point of view. Im not in the trenches doing battle, im trying to heal and be well enough for the next round of treatment.
that was really helpful thank, Fantastic that you are helping others who are going through this with some great advice through your wonderful blog. Keep doing.. GBU
Pink month isn't pretty because this is the reality of breast cancer. Once we stop hiding behind the ribbon then maybe we will get somewhere. Had I known all this I would have not jumped into recon. Your mind needs t heal just as much as your body
