This is the story of two sisters who each have their own infertility journeys—but they are also very much intertwined. Both Emily and Katie had one child, and then, in 2019, their world was rocked when Emily was diagnosed with appendix cancer. After a surgery that took her ovaries, Katie donated her eggs to her sister, Emily, so she could try for her second kid. And then a lot more happened after that. Today, Ali gets the entire story from these two incredible sisters. Grab the tissues because this story is beautiful, and heartbreaking, and also a true testament of love and the incredible bond between two sisters.
