Breast Cancer and the Fertility Decisions That Can Follow

As part of our Infertility Awareness Month series, this episode of What to Know Down Below® continues the conversation with Rachel Nicks, Founder of Birth Queen, breast cancer warrior, women's health advocate, and host of Runway for Research. In this deeply personal conversation with Tina's Wish Board Member Meaghan Repko DeShong, Rachel reflects on her experiences with fertility preservation, pregnancy loss, breast cancer, motherhood, and the unexpected decisions that can follow a diagnosis. Together, Rachel and Meaghan discuss the importance of understanding fertility options, finding a medical team that listens, advocating for yourself, and allowing space for the full range of emotions. Rachel also shares how support, education, and self-compassion helped her navigate one of the most challenging chapters of her life. Filled with honesty, wisdom, and hope, this episode is a reminder that there is no single path to parenthood and that every person deserves the information and support needed to make the choices that are right for them. Connect with our guests: Rachel Nicks https://www.instagram.com/rachelenicks/ https://www.instagram.com/birthqueenorg/   Meaghan Repko DeShong Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marepko/  tinaswish.org/whattoknow
