Anyone have any pregnancy success stories after breast cancer with IVF? I was diagnosed at age 28; I had the tram, chemo, and radiation done. I am now 33 years old and am told am in "perimenopause" because my fsh levels are high. Any new up and coming treatments? Thanks

    Jena, I too was 28 my first go round. I had chemo, radiation, lumpectomy. I chose not to take tamoxifen at that time as my Oncoclogist suggested that If I wanted possibly to have children, I should forgo that. I got pregnant when I was 32 and had my son at 33. He will be 11 this next January.
    I got pregnant three yrs after chemo. Doctor felt that I should wait at least 2 yrs. If you have any questions just email me.
    My son is my one and only, so he is more precious to me than life itself.
    God bless you in your endeavors.
    Sassy Sally.
