Infertility after breast cancer

Hi, I was diagnosed with lobular hormone positive breast cancer last year. I have finished treatment but I am on Zoladex and exemestane for the next few years.
I was diagnosed at 39 and have no children. As the cancer was hormone positive and in the lymph nodes they have told me that it would be a big risk of recurrence to come of my medication to become pregnant which I am not willing to take.
I have always wanted to be a mother and now this has been taken away from me as a result of breast cancer.
I am wondering if there is anyone else in the same situation and if so how did you come to terms with it ? Thanks 🙏
