Hi. I had CML and a bone marrow transplant at age 12. The radiation I had put me in ovarian failure/menopause. I was told I could not have children. I was put on hormone replacement therapy. On June 3, 2000, i was married and on June 30, I found out that I was pregnant with our little miracle and honeymoon baby, Randy. I had a pretty easy pregnancy and eventually a c-section (failure to progress). Randy did come 4 weeks early too- but he was perfectly healthy and still is. He's now 14 months old and full of energy! He loves people and loves to play. I hope God has blessed you with a healthy happy little one too. I would do it again in a heartbeat! (Randy is Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute's first bone-marrow transplant baby!!!)

    Hello,

    I was 13 when I was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, I am now 24 and still have not gotten pregnant. Do you have any advice or any help you can give.

    We found out we are expecting now. Our due date is Dec 7th and we couldn't be happier. So far doctors appointments have gone well.
