trying to conceive after chemotherapy co-authored by Rosen found that 76% percent had ovarian function return. Of those, half gave birth without fertility treatments. Of the rest, 70% were able to conceive using eggs or embryos frozen before cancer treatment., hoping that would give her a better chance of having a baby.
She married her husband, John, in 2019, and underwent in vitro fertilization about eight years after freezing her eggs.
