Hi Tina: I can truly understand your desire to have another child. I
did not have CML yet when my daughter was born, as I developed CML
when I was in my late 50's. Before I had my daughter, I could not
conceive then I got pregnant with twins and only carried for 6
months. I delivered, but they did not survive. Then when I had our
daughter who is now 36, we felt so blessed. I was never able to have
another child after that. We just Thank God for the Blessing we have.
I personally would want to be able to watch my 3 year old grow
up. I would not want to risk losing my remission or possibly
complications to arise. You are very young from what I am reading.
You could wait for a few years, and also being so young you may see
the cure for CML that many of us older people might never experience.
I always say that I am so Glad that I am where I am and not where
I used to be. I was diagnosed in 1998, and I am in PCRU and I Thank
God Everyday that I am here to be able to be with my daughter.
The thought of adoption is always a good thought too, as Patrick
mentioned. This is just my opinion. I hope these responses help you
to decide. Congratulations that you have achieved a remission.
