Second opinion

I had a second opinion about pregnancy and getting clarity on why I'm being told to wait for 5 years. I was embrassingly emotional and tearful in the appointment and feel frustrated and defined by the disease. He clarified the risks but I still don't know what to do. Whether to wait or try to conceive. I keep changing my mind. I really wish cancer had never come into my life but is it there and how do you cope with it in your life? It's terribly emotionally draining and I want to run away from all the complications of it all! ....

Embarrassingly emotional! Please please don’t say that. Never be embarrassed by your emotions! This is a massive thing you are going through. Why have they told you to wait 5 years?

in reply to Katybetter

Because I had cancer and after five years it's very little chance for cancer to come back

Ah yes that’s true. My husband had cancer. I didn’t realise they advised people to wait. I think this might be the wrong group for you though.
