Hi Missy Moo, I was a little surprised there was no content to the blog, I assume you may have lost your post. I just wanted to say my husband and I have had cancer and have 2 children so far 😉 yes I would like more. I was pregant with my first and found out I had thyroid cancer after his birth, 1 year after treatment I was aloud to concieve. Our 2nd was concieved thanks to science after my husband froze sperm before chemo for testicular cancer. Sailor is right, depends on the type of cancer and treatment. Always ask before treatement begins so that you can take the neccessary steps to freeze eggs or sperm or whatever it is you need to do. Best of luck to you. Amanda XX ... View more

Hi there. I am coming from a different point of view from you. It is not friends but my brothers who I am pushing away as they can only say about my beautiful dad "he is old and we all have to go sometime" but at least I know how my dad feels and he is coming tomorrow for 2 weeks and I think he is ready to move in with me and let me take care of him which is what I want and as far as my brothers are concerned well I think that is their loss and I am so tired of trying to get them on my side. I am just so happy that dad wants to spend his time with me. I just want my dad to be happy and at the moment he is saying that is what he wants for me. So to hell with my brothers. Their loss !!

Hi Missy, I haven't met anyone yet other than Nikki here on this forum, although she didn't have breast cancer / tamoxifen. I am currently 2 years out from treatment and plan to try for a baby next year. I have met a lady through soiree who was diagnosed and treated with chemo in her 3rd trimester with her second child. Her son is now 7-8 years old - normal and healthy. She had a recurrence afterwards (a new primary) and was treated. She is surviving ok and has given me a lot of hope. ... View more

Hi Missy moo, I think one of the hardest things is when yout family doesn't understand that even though treatment is over you still aren't "better". Samex ... View more

I have found that when discussing Rob's cancer with people, I say to them 'We're feeling positive about things'. Past experiences have shown that if I tell people what's really going on, how he's doing or how I'm feeling, things go all awkward, they don't know what to say and it all goes to hell. So I'd rather put on the forced smile, tell them that we're being positive and everyone goes along their merry way. Just easier that way. We're really only honest with family and those really close friends. I love the idea of being hopeful and I think I'll use that from now on. I agree, I've always challenged the 'always positive' mantra as I don't think it's particularly healthy striving to be always positive. We're human, we feel different emotions for a reason and if we weren't scared/angry/hurt facing our own mortality, then you're denying yourself to be human. Life is a rollercoaster and our emotions are the carriage we ride in. ... View more
