Woman left infertile by cancer reveals her friend’s surrogacy to friends and family
A woman whose cervical cancer treatment brought her into early menopause has become a mother thanks to her friend who volunteered to be her surrogate.
Cassie Bush, 32, recorded the moment she revealed the news to her boyfriend Jack Clail, 31, and then to her friends and family.
Ms Bush was diagnosed with 2B cervical cancer in 2016, and underwent chemo and radiotherapy. While she got the all-clear in 2018, it meant she was unable to carry a baby.
Becky Siddell, 31, stepped up to become her friend’s surrogate with her frozen eggs.
