Ovarian Cancer Survivor Hillary Redwine On Fertility Options During Treatment

×

Hillary Redwine, 40, was diagnosed with stage 1c ovarian cancer in 2007 which prompted her and her husband of five years to make some critical life decisions quick. They had discussed having children in the future, but Redwine’s ovarian cancer diagnosis kicked the conversation into high gear. While consulting with her oncologist and undergoing infertility treatments, Redwine decided to use an egg donor. Fast forward to now, Redwine, her husband, and their four year old daughter are taking full advantage of the time they have together.
