I loved having my baby back in July and feel so grateful for him .
I always assumed it was my call if I wanted more . To have this taken away from me is breaking my heart .
No more pregnancy experience and newborn experience
I feel so jealous of others who can have this.
Am thinking about adopting but it’s not the same
Really struggling with these feelings of loss of this experience xx
Hi, I totally understand where you are coming from.
I didn't particularly want children at the time and don't have any but now the choice has been taken away from me it haunts me on a daily basis. I am 34 and had a radical keyhole hysterectomy. They kept my ovaries but like you, found a microscopic cell in one node. I was advised to have chemo and radio which I had. The treatment killed my ovaries.
I struggle to hear about friends who are pregnant/just given birth etc. I know there's nothing I can do about it but the pain is real. I feel like a failure to my boyfriend. however when I think like this, I try and say to myself that I am lucky to still be here. But I totally understand what you are saying...contact me if you ever want to chat.

Hello Henrah, I've just been diagnosed 1b1 2 weeks ago and was told my best treatment option is a radical hysterestomy- scheduled for last week of March or early April. I know this means no more babies at 32 years old. Although I have a ten year old daughter and thought all along I dont want to have more, still I felt sad and heartbroken.
However, still thankful that I was once given the chance to have a baby and now my goal is just to recover and live long and healthy for her. I always believe there's a reason for everything that happens. Please know that you are not alone in this struggle. Hang in there and enjoy every moment with your little one.
Sending you lots of hugs and positivity.
xoxo,

Izzy,
What a lovely positive post x
I completely share this heart break with you. My husband and I were planning to start trying for our fourth this month and instead I will have a radical hysterectomy. The timing could Not be more ironic. I know I have three healthy kids and I am very lucky and everyone keeps saying this to me, but it wasnt our plan and i truly am mourning the loss of it. Lately this has been the toughest part of my diagnosis. Even more than the terror of the cancer. But I am going to fight hard for my three young boys. Please feel free to message me, I totally get the feelings you are experiencing. I hope you and I both come to peace with it.
I totally get this. I have a toddler who I am thankful for every single day, but the heartache at the loss of any future children is physically painful. I am at an age where all of my friends are having their firt or second baby and it just seems to be everywhere.
my two best friends are currently pregnant, I am really happy for them but equally jealous and overwhelmingly sad for myself. I don't know what I will do when the babies arrive.
I was out last week with my little one and some random woman said "oh mummy will have to have another baby for you" - because I don't already feel guilty enough that they won't have a sibling, that I can't give my husband another child, that I feel less of a woman. I know she meant nothing by it but it felt like i had been punched in the stomach.
Sorry for rambling, just wanted you to know that you're not alone xx
