9. Facing cancer and freezing your eggs

"Some people are like I don't want to lose my hair, mine was I haven't got married and had kids" Lauren was put into an early induced menopause and her eggs frozen.

Lauren is an award winning podcaster (the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's You, Me & the Big C). She talks to Natalie and Amanda about being faced with the decision to freeze her eggs ahead of her treatment for breast cancer.

"People who go through IVF really want children...and I was like this is part of a process...I was trying to secure my future."
