Thank you so much for your responses. Of course we have put off trying to have children for the time being, and I know that I will need time to heal after the radiation. I was just wondering if it was safe to resume our efforts after I was feeling better from radiation. I had myself prepared that I would be feeling better within a few months. I guess it is good for me to hear that I might take longer than that. Everyone keeps telling me that since I am young (30) and in good health otherwise, that I should do very well. Part of me a pretty scared by the whole thing, and I think it feels better to try and think about getting my life back on the track I was on before this happened. I know that being as healthy as I can be is the most important thing before having children.. and I will of course wait as long as necessary. Cathy, had your doctors told you anything about possible genetic defects from radiation?
Thanks,
Sam
