Fertility Miracle "I thought I'd Never Be A Mum"
The Australian Women's Weekly|December 2017

The drugs used to treat breast cancer can be life-savers, but they have devastating effects on women’s ovaries. Yet there is a drug which is giving hope to women who want a baby after chemo.

Fertility Miracle "I thought I'd Never Be A Mum"

Everything was falling into place for Natasha Eaton in January 2008. She was building a photography business and dating a wonderful man. The then 32-year-old had always wanted to be a mother and while disappointed it hadn’t happened for her yet, she was feeling excited about the future. She was on the phone one afternoon when she noticed a lump in her breast.

“I panicked and jumped in the car and went over to my aunt’s, and got her to check it,” says Natasha. A biopsy revealed she had stage three breast cancer. It was a Friday afternoon when she met with a surgeon and he told her that he wanted her to start chemotherapy on the Monday. As she staggered out to the car park, reeling from the diagnosis, one thought dominated her mind: she may never get to have a baby.
