I have a friend who has overcome tumors, yet the doctor said the lasting effect is that said she will be able to conceive only once, and even then there will be only a 50% chance of the unborn making it all the way to a full term and live birth. (It involves other factors such as her increased risk of going into toxemia, etc.).
She is afraid to get pregnant because she has the knowledge that her body has a 50/50 chance of "killing" the baby. She doesn't want to live with the guilt. So she is afraid to give it that one try.
Different situation, but same concept.
