Cancer treatment/fertility chance

Hi everyone, 

Im about to get very personal, but I have limited time, so I'm just gonna go for it. I'm Nicole/nikki Miller, on July 13th, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, a couple weeks after my 10 year wedding anniversery. The good news "my tumors gone so I'm essentially cancer free", now the next part, don't know if I need chemo or not yet, but I do know part of my "sentence" will include 32 rounds of radiation and ten years of hormone blocking therapy. Radiation, hormone pills, and chemo.. Whichever path will effect my ability to conceive.  So... As I approach Thursday August 27th I will be turning 35. I have a lot of things to be greatful for but as I see pictures of friends sending there kids off to school I can't stop thinking that I may never have this opportunity. I've always wanted children, but my husband and I had conversations  about "the right time". Do you remember the 1st time you held your child in your arms, the 1st time they blew out birthday candles, putting them on the school bus, there 1st school dance?

I want to feel this feeling, unfortunatly I've been informed that I have about 2 weeks to decide if I want to go the egg or embyo freezing route. I do, but the cost even with insurance is $15,000.  that's more than my car costed. Needless to say don't have it.  So my goal is $15,000 (and advice if you can find me a cheaper way).

I don't like to, nor have I asked for money from anyone in the past, but I have an entire life decision to make in just a couple weeks.  ( and lastly please, check yourself, or have someone else check you. Early detection saves lives!)

thank you for your generosity and please share we need all the help we can get  

-Nicole/Nikki Miller
