'I never thought I’d have a baby this way, and now our little boy has this amazing, extended family.'
has become a mum – thanks to a friend who stepped in as a surrogate.
In November 2017 Cassie decided to freeze her eggs on the NHS so she could one day have her own child.Later she began looking for a surrogate with Jack, and the couple were completely taken aback when their friend Becky Siddell, 31, offered to carry a baby for them. But she’s relieved she got a second opinion, as her later MRI scan revealed the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.‘I thought it was going to be about my fertility – I never thought it was cancer,’ said Cassie.She had 26 eggs collected after the decision was made to freeze them – 20 of which were combined with Jack’s sperm to make an embryo.
‘My family were amazing – my dad, Kelvin, took me out for lots of fry-ups to help me gain weight after I lost a lot during chemotherapy.Despite eventually being cancer-free, Cassie’s body entered menopause and she had to start hormone replacement therapy.‘But when I started HRT, it was like a cloud had lifted and I felt like myself again.’
