Was wondering if most women with breast cancer have kids or if it's the other way around? =)
I don't.

    Not Only Children, but also Grandchildren
    Two children have given me 6 grandchildren.
    Daughter has given me 4 Capricorn grandchildren - 2 girls and 2 boys.
    Son has given me 2 Leo grandchildren - 1 boy and 1 girl.

    I was going to wait until March to officially announce that my daugther-in-law and son are now expecting TWINS in September. We will know in March if they are fraternal or identical twins. I told them, watch the babies will come early and they will also be Leo children. Plus, she has a high pressure job. Oh well......

    That will give me a total of 8 grandchildren, so far.

    Yep
    Yes, we have 5 children. 4 girls (22, 21, 20, and 16) and 1 son (13). I had my oldest when I was 21. No grandchildren yet and I'm hoping no time soon since the three oldest are still in college. :)

    Janelle,
    Congrats on the

    Janelle,
    Congrats on the twins. How wonderful and you are right, with twins they will probably be early and Leos. Let us know when you find out if they are identical or fraternal. Maybe a boy and girl and you will have 4 and 4. But the most important is that they are healthy babies whether boys or girls.
    I have one daughter, one wonderful son in law and 2 grandchildren, a boy (6) and a girl (2 1/2). They are the loves of my life along with my hubby, Den.

    One daughter, 22
    I was 34 when she was born. Attempted breastfeeding, but because she had jauntice, she was in the hospital longer than me. She latched onto the bottle there and that was that. Too bad, I had more milk than a Holstein.

    1 son & 1 daughter
    My son is 13, my daughter is 9...so this has been pretty hard on them...my son is an introvert, so I really need to watch him to make sure he is handling things...my daughter is the extravert (just like me) so she gets her feeling out...

    I breast fed both of them...my son until 9 mths and my daughter for 1 yr...

    I have two step sons, but we don't see them unfortunately...lets just say my hubby's ex is a real pain...she really ruined any relationship with us...they are 20 and 19 now, so we are hoping they will reach out on their own soon...

    Anyway, no chance for grankids any time soon...better be at least 15 years away...lol

    Yes, two -- 1 boy and 1 girl
    My son, Andrew is in his early 20's .... breast fed, daughter Alexandra just turned 19 years of age - she was not breast fed.

    Ally was in her last year of high school when I diagnosed with breast cancer, so my battle, journey, chemo, surgeries etc .. were very very hard on her. I can NOT attend her high school graduation, as I was on house lock down, due to multiple surgeries and recovery from a staph infection that appeared in my right tissue expander after our vacation to the 'grand canyon' last April.

    My cancer = has been hard on them .. No doubt.
