Erin Mackley left the city for an adventure on a remote cattle station where she met her future husband. They eventually moved to rural Victoria and were excited to start a family. But at just 31 years of age, Erin was diagnosed with breast cancer, and just when she thought she beat it, two years later it has spread to her spine. Not only was Erin in the fight of her life, but she was also desperately trying to preserve her fertility. Until now, Erin has never shared her story publicly, and what she's been through is unimaginable. After being told she couldn't carry children of her own, she explored the surrogacy route which ended in heartbreak. Then, when almost all hope was lost... three special children came into her life; siblings that Erin and her husband adopted three years ago. This is her story.
