    Yes I do.
    I was 37 when I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last year. I have four children. One is 20 and in her third year of college, my second daughter is 12 and in the 6th grade, my one and only son is 6 and in Kinder, my baby is 3 and she is in daycare. I have one of each generation. They not only give me emotional support, but they keep me on my toes. I would not have it any other way. I LOVE MY KIDS.

    I have 2 daughters, age 9
    I have 2 daughters, age 9 and 2. I was diagnosed roughly a year and a half after my youngest was born. Both were breastfed. My mom, who is still in treatment for IDC, also had 2 kids,along with a still-born birth and an earlier miscarriage, neither breastfed. Most of the women, with the exception of 1, in my breast cancer support group, have children.

    Yep ... one terrific son, the most-wonderful-daughter-in-law-in-the-world ... and 2 adorable grandsons. Unfortunaely ... they are in Connecticut ... and I'm in Indiana so I don't see them as often as I'd like ... which would be ALL of the time ... :-)
