I was diagnosed 12/24/08 after just turning 32 that October. I was stage 1 er/pr- and her+.

I didn't handle chemo well at all but I made it thru. I had TCH and I had a host of weird SE's that continue on thru now but they are slowly going away. I might just be handling them better but I will never know.

My oncologist said if I wanted any more kids that he would give his blessing after Jan of 2012 but I am not sure if we want anymore. My period came back on my one year cancerversary

and has been back since then. My ob/gyn who I saw recently still can't get over the fact that my oncologist would not suggest for me not to have any more children. I have gotten to the point that I am used to educating people about things like that and I now tease her about my "old" eggs...lol...

Kristen~ I am so happy that your markers are going in the right direction.
