Re: Women under 40

Hi Kristin,

I am part of this group too sadly. I was diagnosed at 31 years old; my son was 7 months old. I was diagnosed July 19, 2010, and I finish Herceptin this November. I am still very hopeful to have more children as my baby was my first child. He is now 20 months and brings me so much joy. I am not sure if it will be possible to have more kids but I can always dream! I have resumed my cycle about 5 months after my last chemo. It was quite a shock as I had been told that I was likely in permanent menopause. I just take it one day at a time. I am married to wonderful man that has been by my side every step of the way. In some ways I feel very blessed because of the people I have in my life. I was told by my oncologists that because I was younger the advantages were that I could withstand stronger treatments. I know I am not that far out from diagnosis but I will check back down the road. I wish all of you all the best!
