Family history of cancer and egg donation

Emma Lyon · 2016-02-18 14:34:21 UTC

Hi there, I'd like to donate my eggs, but the truth is breast cancer runs in my family... My granny died of breast cancer, and my mother and aunty overcame it. Now my first cousin is going through breast cancer screening. It's terrible, I know. What I'd like to know is whether I will be ruled out as a donor because of this. Thanks in advance, Emma
