Pinkgirl: I don't know if
Pinkgirl:
I don't know if anyone could give you a ratio or a percentage on what your chances are of conceiving in the future, but none of the chemo drugs in the ICE regimen are known fertility killers. There are some chemo drugs that are pretty much a guarantee of infertility, but none of those are found in the ICE regimen. To my knowledge, only the ifosfamide carries a minor infertility warning.
That isn't to say it's not possible from any chemo though, really. For example, if you go to the American Cancer Society's website and look up any chemo drug, it will almost always include a warning about possible infertility or sterility.
However, it seems like a low risk from the ICE regimen, add in the fact that you had just two rounds, risk is even lower.
As for the radiation, the only way that radiation could have some effect on your fertility is if the radiation treatment region included your ovaries. If your ovaries were getting hit by six weeks of radiation, then infertility becomes a possible long-term side effect. If not, then you can strike that off your list of concerns.
