LIVESTRONG Helps Make Fertility Preservation Possible
by Brooke McMillan
Sarah received her second diagnosis at 31 after she’d been cancer free for five years. She’d been thinking about having a baby, and the news that her treatment could complicate that was devastating. At the time, everything was a whirlwind. The last thing she wanted to worry about or research was fertility treatment. That’s when she came to LIVESTRONG for help.

“LIVESTRONG made it financially possible for my husband and me to freeze embryos. While I was going through treatment, my sister-in-law, Lisa, volunteered to be our surrogate. We were afraid having a baby was never going to happen. LIVESTRONG made the impossible possible.”
