Murray, I will jump in here, and give my thoughts, although, being a male, non-PD victim, and non medically trained person, I am likely the least qualified to comment. I would tell her to go for it, for a few reasons, The first being that her doctor may not be fully informed, but if he thought it was a bad thing to do, I am sure he would object. I believe that at her age she could go through it without major problems. Having children, for those who want to, is the natural thing to do. The longer she waits the harder it will be. A cure or better treatment for PD is imminent. If I were her husband or father, I would tell her to "go for it". [log in to unmask]
