in Breast Cancer #1

HI everyone, I am 29 y/o and was just recently diagnosed with stage 1 Breast Cancer. I just started my chemo treatments of Adriamycin and Cytoxan (AC). I will be receiving 4 treatments total, once every three weeks for the next three months, followed by Taxol.. every week for three months. My husband and I were trying to conceive prior to this devastating news. I am wondering if any one had any success stories, with becoming pregnant after AC, because i know that it can damage your ovaries, and this is my biggest fear right now. Thank you in advance for your feedback! :)

    Fertility preservation

    Have you spoken to your doctors about harvesting and freezing eggs for future fertilization?  Some insurance companies cover the cost of this and it is your best bet. I would not take any chances if I were in your position.  The effects of chemo aree variable and stay in your body for a long time.
