Sam,
The thing is, feeling better does not mean feeling perfectly healthy! Soon to be five months post-radiation, I sure feel a lot better than I felt a month or two after, but I am definitely still convalescent.

Another thing, the treatment can temporarily stop menstruation. I thought I was going through menopause (no such luck).

I don't want to scare you, but as you said, it's better to be prepared. You'll want to be have your body concentrate only on you, not on a baby, until you are well.

Good luck!
