I didn't have the same type of cancer you had but I was 19 when I was dianosed with my cancer which is ALL and my OB was concerned about me being able to conceive. But in the end with the heavy chemotherapy for 1 year and 1 1/2 of maintenance and two weeks of radiation. I am happy to say I got pregnant and am about 16 weeks now. My doctors are very happy on how I am doing. I hope this helps some what

I was fist diagnosed with Hodgkin's at 22 in 2004. After 6 cycles of ABVD and 16 rads I was in remission. In October 2006 I had a healthy baby boy. In October 2008 I found out that I relapsed. My biggest concern was fertility. I opted not to harvest eggs and went on Lupron injections to put myself into menopause in the hopes of reducing the amount of chemo my ovaries would receive. I went through 2 cycles of ICE and then an auto stem cell transplant. I have been told that if I am still fertile I would have to wait at least 2 years to get pregnant. They say that if eggs were damaged they can heal themselves hence the 2 year waiting period.

My doctors are hopfull my fertility will return but still no sign of it. I'm only 28 and hate to think my son will be an only child. Before the relapse I wanted to be pregnant by the time my son turned 3. I am lucky and blessed to have him and am just taking everything one month at a time.

Good luck with the biopsy results. I just had a clean PET on Friday after having two warm spots show up 3 months ago. Not all warm spots are cancer!!

Hi Ladies!  I hope you are all still checking this thread.  I am currently 30, was 26 when I went through my treatment for stage 4 non hodgkin's.  My husband and I were married shortly after I finished chemo and never knew if I would be able to get pregnant or not.  Finally, after the 3 year point, we got pregnant right away, but I miscarried around 6 or 7 weeks, back in April 2009.  I'm currently 14 wks pregnant and everything appears to be going OK this time (fingers crossed).  It has been a nerve wracking 12 wks, I'm really excited to go back to the Dr to hear the HB again just to make sure everything is still ok.  But Sope I just wanted you to know this, because I was also concerned about this and thinking I would miscarry every time.  Hopefully in July I'll be having a very healthy baby and that I will still be healthy as well...that will be around 4 years remission for me!  Good luck to you Sope and to the other ladies who are currently pregnant.  How is everything going for you?
