Hello! I will be starting chemo Nov 1st. I have always had every intention of having one more baby when I turned 36 or 37. I am 35 now, dx in july, had complete double masectomy in August, stage 1-2 IDC. I checked into storing eggs first but at the price of $10,000 give or take, that is definitely not an option. My oncologists suggested I start taking injections of Zoladex each month to keep my ovaries shut down to minimalize damage from chemo. The only info I have found on Zoladex is that it is only for women that are ER negative. I am ER+/PR+ HER 2 negative. My oncologists say getting pregnant is extremely dangerous because estrogen increases and that's what my cancer loves. Has anyone experienced being ER+ and getting pregnant naturally and staying cancer free for many years? Has anyone taken Zoladex with chemo while being ER+? What was it like? Thank you so much for any advice!!!
