Any Help on this PLEASE!!

I posted a similar question yesterday, and thank you JD and Reneeolay....I have been researching everything I can about fertility and tx.  Many cancer sites talk about chemo affecting fertility, but I know this is a "different" kind of chemo.  If you have any idea, or have found any research about this, please post back.  I'm calling a specialist today, but my time is running out and I don't want to find out in two years that I can't have kids :(

Thanks!

When I did cancer chemo at age 46 it threw me into menopause within the first 2 weeks.  When I posted before I had forgotten that - sorry.  This chemo might do likewise.  Calling a specialist is a good idea.  Good luck and let us know what info you get.

Thanks Jd for letting me know.  It seems like my GI isn't too worried about it, but I guess I rather be safer than sorry :)  I'll let you know what I find out!

Wow, cancer and HCV....you're brave!
