Linda - the posts on the YSC board are from people with all sorts of pathology - if you go to the pregnancy/fertility board you will see I've responded to several and I'm her2+. I am er- but pr+ (only 23%).

My oncologist says that if you are either ER/PR+ OR have positive nodes, children should be out of your future. But she also says it's a very personal decision. I am blessed with 2, but as Kristen (who posted earlier) knows, 2 years after dx, I'm still struggling with the likelihood I won't have anymore. So we're hoping we'll be able to adopt when I hit the 5 year cancer free mark and I'll have my ovaries out.

How highly ER/PR positive are you? I did my own "research" and found 4 ER/PR positive women that went on to have post bc babies. 2 recurred and 2 did not. Not a statistical sample, but 50% seemed too much of a risk for me, so I'm working at having my mind convince my heart that no more babies are in the cards for me.
