Back in 1980, my case was very desperate and I had very aggressive chemo treatments for 2 years every 3 weeks. It has been a real nightmare. Because of the highly toxic side effects of the treatments, I was not supposed to have a child on my own, but for the doctors, it was not a problem because I was not even supposed to survive!! But I did! So, we adopted our first child in China (13 years ago). I also have been diagnosed with severe endo and retroverted uterus 15 years ago (lap + Zoladex for 6 mths). In spite of all this, I have been blessed by three miraculous natural pregnancies.
Our youngest child is 16 months. Rebecca is our little angel and she brings us so much joy and love. I am still breastfeeding her 2 times a day. We would really like to have another child and are trying for 8 months now but we know that at our age, it will be difficult. My husband and I have been tested and everything seems okay, my FSH was 7. I just started my first Clomid cycle March 2nd (day 5-9) and an IUI will be performed next week. We are very positive and confident that it may help us to conceive.
Yes, miracles do happen! In fact, I am one of them! Hold on to your dreams and never forget, that you are a lot more than statistics. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. The best of luck to everyone and a   for this month!

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words. My husband is still fighting the cancer, his first chemo protocol failed and he is trying another one. And all we have is faith in GOD that keeps us going. I would love to have his children but if I can just have him healthy and not suffering that is more than enough for me.
He is on Stage 4, and not many hospitals we approached wanted to treat him and said just live your days left, but by grace of GOD we found a great hospital in Turkey which is affilaited with Johns Hopkins. I just know in my heart he will be fine.
Thanks and keep us in your prayers.
