I had infertily before breast cancer and now am almost 41. Waiting 2 plus more years to try with our embryos is not my best option for many reasons. Most of the grants you need to be below poverty level, not already have kids, be done treatment or be younger. So I don't qualify unfortunately. Surrogacy is insanely expensive (150-200k). We are struggling with options and believe our embryos deserve a chance. I was prepping for a transfer when I was diagnosed. 😢
