It is crucial to highlight the often overlooked emotional challenges patients face during their medical journeys. These personal struggles and experiences are not always visible or openly discussed.
Breast cancer survivor Sarrah Bentley joins podcast host Chloe Harrouche for an intimate discussion about their experiences with breast cancer and decisions to pursue surrogacy. Sarrah shares her story of being diagnosed young and its emotional impact on her future.
Both women reflect on how cancer reshaped them, with Chloe noting a loss of innocence and increased emotional sensitivity. They discuss the complexities of choosing a surrogate, emphasizing the need for trust.
Sarrah also talks about sharing her surrogacy journey publicly, addressing negative social media feedback and urging open-mindedness and support.
