Episode: Infertility to Triplets with Shelby Stewart | Realising Your Mothering Doesn’t Divide, It Multiplies
Description: When Shelby was 15 years old, she was diagnosed with cancer, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and she ended up undergoing chemo, radiation, and surgery, removing a tumour off of her heart. During that treatment, the chemo she received really did a number on her reproductive system. Because she was a minor, she wasn’t really given the option to preserve her eggs or do any kind of fertility preservation, so she later had a lot of difficulty falling pregnant, even being told by a doctor that she will not ever be able to have kids because of the intense treatment she received.
