Neuroblastoma and Fertility

Hi. I'm Julie, neuroblastoma survivor. They found my tumor in 1976 when I was 6 months old and stopped moving my legs (I live with partial paralysis as a result of the cancer). I was on chemo/radiation for 2 years.

My husband and I are trying to have a child. When the natural way wasn't working, I had some tests done, and it happens that my AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) is low, which basically means I don't have a lot in ovarian reserves. Has any other neuroblastoma survivor experienced this? Any advice would be welcome.

Thank you!

Julie

    Hi Julie,
    You should try
    Hi Julie,

    You should try posting your question to the N-Blast list on ACOR.org

    ACOR is the american cancer online resource and there will find 100s of parents of kids with NB + adults with NB or survivors who can answer your question.

    I wish you the best - and CONGRATs on being a survivor!! We know there's hope out there and you are the proof!
