Hi Jen,

I can undertsand your pain and frustration dealing with the knowledge that you may need to gat pregnant ASAP. I was diagnosed last May and the the doctor told me I only had a year. I really struggled with whether or not I should get pregnant now or later. However, I just have to say this. We all make the best choices available to us at any given time. On a listserve of this nature I don't think it's fair for you to say you hate women who have abortions. I can hear that it's coming from a place of pain, but I still don't think it's appropriate. Anyway I didn't write to yell at you - I just get upset when I hear women saying stuff like that. Good luck with you decision. My advice would be to get a second opinion and not make live-changing decisions because you feel backed into a corner. It is almost a year for me and I am now in my fifth month of Lupron treatment, hoping it will extend my fertility. Take care! Anne
