Motherhood and Chemo: Know Your Options Before Treatment

Thursday May 10, 2007

Mother's Day is Sunday May 13.
Chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer has many side effects, one of which is estrogen suppression. This can cause your ovaries to stop working for a while and you might experience medical menopause, or chemopause. In addition, you may be infertile during, and after, treatment. If you are not already in menopause before you start chemo, consider your options before you begin treatment.
