Stacey Norman opens up about her Cancer scare & decision to freeze her eggs

--:--
According to CANSA (Cancer Association Of South Africa) one in seven women in South Africa will be at risk for cancer in their lifetime. A content piece that was done on the show about a week and a half ago on the show triggered and struck a cord with Stacey Norman. The story was submitted by a listener of a show whom shared that she and her husband had been struggling to conceive and that their doctor had suggested that the couple consider alternative means to bringing a child into this world.

Stacey, was triggered by the story, as a woman like many others has always just thought that getting pregnant should be easy to do because we are taught that as a woman that is part of your job. No one talks about the fact that sometimes your body may not be primed for child bearing because of medical issues. Stacey, who visits her gynecologists quiet regularly, had not been to see one in a while and was feeling abnormal abdominal pains. So, she finally set a appointment to see a gynecologist whilst she was living in Johannesburg.

Stacey's new gynecologist on a hunch tested for HPV on Stacey, which is normally not advised for woman under the age of 30 years-old.
