Capecitabine and fertility

Going through breast cancer treatment Chemotherapy

Hi,

 

I am starting on capecitabine soon and I just wondered if anyone has any experience of taking this and the effect it has had on fertility? 

I am really struggling with the thought that this might make me infertile, as I am only 27. I have searched the web and read a lot of papers but there is no research from what I can see that gives you any answer or statistics for this.

 

Hoping to speak to someone who has been in a similar situation!
