I was diagnosed with triple negative Breast Cancer on 24th March 2011, aged 42. I asked about my fertility, and egg harvesting and save. To give me the option of having a child following my chemotherapy treatment. I was told that I was too old to apply for this on the NHS, as the cut off was age 40. I am now aged 45 and in a long term relationship.
I really hope that they increase the age for this service, I know it’s too late for me, but hopefully others won’t be so unlucky in the future.
