I have just turned 40 when i was diagnosed with breast cancer. It happend during Covid in May while i was abroad. I had to start treatment (chemo) abroad given they found some nodes on my lungs so applied chemo prior to surgery to ensure it wont spread further.

I got my genetic tests returned being positive and a surgeon who planned on operating me (masectomy) suggested to remove both of my breasts and the one ovary left. 

We have been trying for kids for over 5 years and after removal of my right ovary in 2018 i started IVF. Finished 3 cycles and also a natural one but with no success. Than i got very busy with our business and now facing all these scary stuff. My chemotgerapy doctor told me 'girl, forget trying for kids at all, there is too much risk once you are cancer free it might come bk when the hormonal changes come in with pregnancy!' I do not want kids of my own due to the cancer history in my family but i truly hopped to find an egg donor and get pregnant. 

My world is falling apart and i very much need some hope to fulfil my dream for a child. I dont even mind considering other alternatives (adoption, surogacy) but my husband keeps hoping we can have children of our own. The biggest fear of mine after learning all the info if i fall pregnant and it does come back i will need to get rid of it. It would destroy my world completely. 

I would love someone to share their stories. Perhaps there is some option i havent come across yet giving me bigger hope. 

Thank you
