Hi Louise,
You don't say anything about what treatment you have received. I assume you probably have had chemo radiation? Do let us know.
Hi Rachel. .yea sorry I had 25 radiotherapy 5 chemotherapy and 3 brachytherapy xx
Hi Louise
unless you had your ovaries moved out of the radiation field it is almost certain you will not be fertile. I was told after my treatment that nothing is 100% so to be careful for the first 4-6 mths but it is most definite that if after that time has passed and no period that I was in complete menopause that it is no longer necessary to worry about any birth control. Not to mention the hot flashes I have if I do not remember to take my pills confirms this.
Hope that helps.
Hi lolli no i didn't have my ovaries moved..I will be careful for time bein then..I only finished treatment 4 weeks ago but haven't had a period. .don't know if I will have them ?? I don't really understand al thisl menopause stuff if I'm honest. .as for hot flushes I am havin them regular. .they are horrendous :-/ xx
