Thanks to her best friend, Victoria Eames will be able to have children

As a consequence of a vital uterine removal, Victoria Eames can not have children. But now her best friend wants to become her surrogate mother.

32-year-old dancer Victoria Eames is shocked when her doctors tell her that she has cervical cancer. The Englishwoman and her partner had always planned to have children together. But this dream is shattered when it is revealed to her that she will only have the best chance of conquering the cancer if she can completely remove the uterus.

For Victoria Eames, a world collapses. As a result of the surgery, she will never be able to have children and experience pregnancy. But just at the moment when the 32-year-old has reached this low point of her life, there is one person above all who gives her hope again.

When Jenah Colledge, the dancer's best friend, hears about her illness and its consequences, she makes Victoria a great gift. She offers to become the surrogate mother for her friend . Eames is very touched and infinitely grateful for this beautiful gift that can only spring from true friendship. In an interview with The Daily Mail, she says, "She'll never know how much she does to me - she'll never give her enough thanks for completing my life."

Girlfriend Jenah Colledge easily made the decision to become a surrogate mother: "As soon as I knew how serious the situation really was, I got the idea .. I stuck to my decision because it is the right thing to do change your whole life. "

On 3 December 2014, the all-important intervention took place. The doctors removed Victoria Eames' entire uterus. Only her ovaries were preserved. Two weeks later, the 32-year-old was told that the cancer had been completely removed. However, she will have to undergo further check-ups every three months to be sure.

One year from now, Victoria Eames and her best friend Jenah Colledge will wait before beginning surrogacy. You will have to wait and see if the cancer returns.

We wish you the best.
