Hi everyone!

I'm happy to say that my mouth is steadily improving- my first scans post rads (ended 12/27 are not until May 31.

I'm really interested in how many posts I am reading about woman who are diagnosed during pregnancy or just afterward. I was late to the game with starting a family- but had suspicious precancerous cells on my tongue for years.

Can you chime in so that we can get a collective of how many of us were diagnosed during or soon after pregnancy? Was anyone artificially stimulated with hormones?

My doctors seem fairly confident that it is fine for me to get pregnant again. We did IVF before treatment so that we could have frozen embryos, but I am now very nervous about what sounds like a real correlation between this cancer & hormones.

Thanks!
Sally
