I never thought I would be told I couldn't have any more children. We weren't planning on more children after Art, but I guess we never anticipated the choice would be taken away. No more will we or won't we.
Getting a full hysterectomy is one of the safest choices you can make towards getting and living cancer free and not having it recurre.
It also means that's the end of having any more kids.
Personally I'm ok with this, but it does make me think of other young woman who haven't had the opportunity to bear children yet.
As this cancer is aggresive, it really isn't worth the risk in saving an ovary or womb in my opinion but Iv had the privlage to have not one but three children so that's easy for me to say.
Also this means going into menopause. I had never given this much thought (always thought I had more
time) . It seems to be the least of my worries and current priorities. Iv decided I will cross that bridge when it comes to it.
Arthur's only 11 weeks old and i had wondered if this would mean no more breastfeeding, my GP confirmed I can still breast feed! I was so happy to
hear this news.
Unfortuntaly, i wont be able to continue feeding him this way when I start chemotherapy, but until then, I will hold strong. It's important to remain positive and see the bright side of the situation you are in.
So for today, and the days to follow, I will cherish the times I get to feed my son naturally.
