Risks with pregnancy ?????

Is there anyone out there who has gone onto have a baby after having estrogen receptive breast cancer ??
My oncologist gave me the go ahead to try for a baby but after over 12 months of trying she referred me to an NHS Gynocolgist who basically told me I was taking a risk with having raging hormones going around my body for nine months if I was successful in getting pregnant..
Anyone got any advice ?
