The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

I think if the writers have Lily concieve that will do it for me. My mother died of ovarian cancer and the FIRST thing they do is take your ovaries out..plus your uterus and all other female parts effected! They would NOT harvest eggs that may be diseased!! PUHLEESE! Also, chemo would kill off any sperm even super man Cane's!! The mortality rate of stage four cancer is 80 per cent.. so please writers give us a break we are not stupid.. your ignorance of woman's health issues is really a danger to women who may not know signs, side effects and symptoms.. be smart..we are!

It is just a soap. If it gets too serious or "real" we may lose even more viewers. I hope Lily does have a baby with the eggs.

Who said anything about Lily conceiving/having a child naturally that is? She is rendered barren, with no womb,ovaries, etc. She cannot have children but the doctors were able to harvest only two viable eggs. I don't think that's too much of a stretch. It does give women hope and it lets women that are cancer survivors see that it is possible to have biological children through Invitro Fertilization. Cane's sperm would be used at this point to fertilize the eggs. This of course would be done in a lab, so how does that tie into superman's sperm. For the record all that we've seen of Lily over the past months (which we really haven't seen her much), is her suffering through the effects of cancer and chemo. She is bald (from shaving her own hair to symbolize taking control before the cancer took her hair), she is isolated (can't go out cause her immune system is low), she had chemo (in a realistic looking hospital setting), she is going through menopause or chemopause with frequent hot flashes and she has talked about perhaps not surviving. I have not been pleased with what has happened to the character of Lily, but I certainly don't see someone that has been portrayed unrealistically, the character and her husband Cane have gone through hell, not a bed of roses like some others.

^ You said it twocentsworth Cane is a real prize. How beautiful would it be for this couple to receive the gift of a child after all the hell they've been through

Hey you Guys are certainly there for Lily if she needed a shoulder to lean on she has you Guys, great posts, Loved them and so Beautifully said.

Not from cancerous ovaries they can't! The eggs are diseased.. my mother died from this trust me.. look it up so maybe you can save your life or someone you love??

Maybe only one ovary was diseased and the other one was viable, however was removed anyway in order to lessen the chances of further spread.
