  • Hi Julieh3,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your daughter - this must be really difficult for you all and I hope that she and you are doing as OK as can be.

    We have information on our website about women's fertility and chemotherapy, in case this is helpful.

    Please of course speak to your daughter's medical team about this, as they will be best placed to advise.

    We also have nurses available and you may find it helpful to talk things through with them. If you'd like to do that, you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    In the meantime, hopefully you'll get more replies to your post here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
