Children can be one of life’s greatest blessings. Breast cancer survivors Alex Miles-Stiffler and Sara Galher-Barlow long for larger families but their diagnoses put those dreams farther and farther out of reach. Alex struggled to start a family before her diagnosis. The heart ache she felt after two miscarriages was unbearable at times, and her fertility challenges only grew after breast cancer treatment, but she wasn’t giving up on the family she dreamed of having. Sara always knew she wanted several children. She was blessed with a precious daughter prior to being diagnosed, but her cancer was aggressive and treatment couldn’t wait. She had to forego egg preservation, and the uncertainty of fertility along with the cost of fertility treatments will make it harder to grow her family.
