Thank you Dr.Daiter.
I am perfectly fine with losing my fertility if I can preserve my
organs! I have one child and am fine if I cannot have anymore children.I
would rather be healthy and enjoy one kid than try to have more and be
miserable with all the suffering!
Thanks a lot for your advice .Its helped me come closer to choosing my
options!
Appreciate your help a lot!
