Amy said: \u201cIt has been the toughest year of my life but I\u2019m just really hoping with the surgery that I\u2019ve already had and the chemo that I\u2019ve done enough. I\u2019ve had sepsis, blood clots, I\u2019ve had to have hormone treatment then been put into menopause.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I sat in that room and the doctors said, \u2018Amy, yes you have cancer\u2019, that was one stab, and then, \u2018What\u2019s your fertility plans?\u2019, because I\u2019ve got an oestrogen-fed cancer and they need to shut my ovaries down, basically, and my husband is next to me and we\u2019ve only been married a couple of months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just heart-breaking and that is something I never knew and the impact emotionally, it has just been so tough.\u201d<\/p>\n
