Hi Again,

I'm 25 and diagnosed with Stage 0 cervical cancer. My OBGYN has recommended surgery and I would like to know what are my HONEST chances of carrying a child to term after this procedure? I have been reading articles that state that a woman has an increased risk of miscarriage after a cold-knife conization. Is this true? I'm scared. I want to be able to have children some day. Any help would be great. Thanks again.

    Hello. I am 30 and have 2 beautiful children. My fiance wants children between us, unfortunately now after radiation this is not an option. There is an organization called FERTILE HOPE. I found out too late. They can freeze your eggs to help you when you decide you are ready for children. There are alot of great ladies out there that can help with carrying for you. I hope it helps.
