Pregnancy after Cancer Diagnosis

[OhSoSharkie]

I've deliberately not posted on the cancer forum as it felt insensitive but this is not an AIBU (please note it's in Chat), purely because I haven't decided yet. I've had a heap of input from medical complications teams and oncologists, and I realise I am insanely lucky to even be able to think about this.

Does anyone have any good resources for women who have decided to get pregnant after a cancer diagnosis, knowing they may have to face some challenging treatment in the future.

Would be really interested to read blogs, articles, forums etc... I'm just getting lots of general info rather than lived experience when I google... And a lot of Healing Belle articles at the moment frustratingly.

No resources I’ve used specifically because I was done having babies before I got cancer, but you might look to see if Shine Cancer Support has anything. They’re a charity that works with younger adults (20s, 30s and 40s) with cancer.

Thank you @mindutopia.

Will go and have a look now.

Also just to add - Id be interested to hear from experiences of children who've grown up with a parent (mother) facing cancer and treatment as well - this too is very important to me. I did so I do have some lived experience, though it was limited and my child will have a very different life to what I had (not better or worse, just different).

Following as in a similar boat OP. Already have one child (pre chemo) and good chance I’ll be able to have more if I want. It leaves me in turmoil thinking about it, because I don’t know what the “right” decision is at all.
