I am taking a break for a while due to cancer .....

Hey All

Just thought i'd update you all for those that remember me. I've been away for a short while.

I found out i have breast cancer back on the 10th August this year. My world has been going at 100 miles per hour since that day.
I'm ok though. Coping very well. I am about to start chemo on Wednesday, then lumpectomy and radiotherapy.
There is some good news to come out of all of this which is why i wanted to write to you all.

Some of you may already know this, but with having chemo you have a 50/50 chance of becoming infertile, so i will be having my ovaries switched off while i am having the treatment, and have just finished a round of IVF, which took all of 2 weeks. And I am happy to say that the hospital managed to freeze 10 embryos.....
Me and DH are obvioulsy over the moon and this will be what will keep me/us going through out this whole process. It means that we will have 5 attempts at getting and keeping pregnant.

I will be on and off the boards when I can, so just wanted to wish you all the best of luck and keep in touch.......
