I hate to give you false hope...but my girlfriend has stage IV and she
was a mess inside. She had to have several surgeries in a row then she
got pregnant. SHe then had a couple surgeries in a row again and got
pregnant again. She now is pregnant for the third time with out any
surgeries. Even though you love your doctor I would seek another
opinion. I loved my doctor until I read his notes in my file...so also
get a copy of your records. Many people think that this is weird but
you can adopt and breastfeed. Do some reading on that, I think you will
be very surprised. It isn't easy to get the milk flow but it's worth
it. Rhonda
