In this candid and emotionally rich episode Fiona sits down with Emma and Katie to unpack the complex, often overwhelming world of fertility when you're diagnosed with cancer as a young person. Across honest stories and shared frustrations, the trio explore the decisions they faced, the pressure of time, the emotional toll of uncertainty, and the long‑term impact treatment has had on their bodies, hormones, and sense of future.

From egg-freezing dilemmas to early menopause symptoms, irregular periods, and the awkwardness of fertility discussions at a young age, the conversation shines a light on the realities young people rarely expect to confront. They also reflect on the loneliness of being “the youngest in the waiting room,” the slow pace of non‑urgent referrals, and the constant feeling of living in the unknown.

It’s raw, relatable, and full of moments that will resonate with anyone navigating cancer treatment, fertility decisions, or the pressure of life milestones happening around you.
