Infertility and Cancer = complicated…..

14 Feb

Physically – I’m still sore.  I’m doing my prescribed exercises + a bit extra.  The left side still burns, my arm is heavy and quite weak.  I haven’t driven the car for three weeks and am sick of relying on others.

 

I’ve spoken to two specialists today – one who I’ve seen for gynaecological ‘issues’ (endometriosis and polycystic ovaries), the other who focuses more on fertility issues.  Sure, the two are linked – but there is a difference.

Baby making and how to try and achieve a pregnancy safely, in difficult circumstances (such as mine where I’ve had two oestrogen receptive breast cancers at an early age) can be two very different things.
All I can do is homework and try to weigh-up the potential risks of high oestrogen levels.  Knowledge is power, but despite my best efforts to seek expert opinion, I must say I’m exhausted at the gravity of this situation.

Ohh – yeah – it’s Valentine’s Day!  Happy baby making everyone:)
