Hi all I'm new to the group and hoping to get some advice.

I have been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, name her2 positive which has spread to my limpnodes under my arm. While having further tests done, I have to make there decision to freeze my eggs.

I'm 36 and I've always wanted to be a mam. Possibly the only thing I've wanted for as long as I can remember. The issue I'm having is the process can take a while so far I've been told 3 week wait list for first appointment then it could be a further 3 weeks before the procedure could take place. In my mind I go to the darkest places. Ie what if they want to start treatment while waiting, am I putting my life at risk? am I letting my family down (they all have their different opinions). So I'm just wondering if any one can help all opinions/advice would be helpful.

Thanks for reading and possibly your help 

  • I had two cycles of egg preservation treatment two months ago. During the first cycle, I was very stressed and was only able to have 5 eggs frozen. However, in the second cycle, I had 27. This experience showed me that when you take care of yourself mentally and physically, your body responds positively too.

    Please remember that you are the priority, and no one will do anything that could delay your recovery. I really recommend speaking to your doctor first—and then, take a moment to listen to your heart. What do you truly want?

    Whatever you decide, I believe you’ll be absolutely fine.
