Congrats on the kiddo. That is one thing I have been stuck in limbo on. My docs have said it's my choice, but because they are saying this was a genetic issue, that any child i have will have a 75% chance of getting this at my age or younger. I don't like hearing that, but that also came from a doc that told me after i have radiation, if it comes back and is inoperable they won't be able to do anything but keep me comfortable till i pass.
I am pretty sure no one likes to hear that at 25. But I am still in limbo about it all, so I am glad to see someone around my age went with having a child and things are going good for them.
Congrats on being cancer free also!! I get my 6 month scan results next monday and I am hoping for all clear!!
It's tough to keep up with this sometimes, but I realized taking time away and seeing people on fb post about ppl having reoccurences and I am out of the loop kinda hurts, cuz I want to be there however I can for fellow patients. I just have to make time for this.
But congrats on all of your good news!!
