This week we’re talking to Kreena Dhiman. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Kreena went through IVF to freeze her embryos prior to chemotherapy. But what followed was a journey she never expected to embark on. From heart failure to surrogacy, Kreena's story is both so moving and so inspiring, that we've split it into two parts. In part 2, Kreena talks about how after the loss of her embryos, she embarked on a donor egg journey, how the lack of South Asian egg donors had an impact, and her search for a new surrogate.
