"We're in the process of getting our embryos to Ukraine. So it's really exciting. It's really real now."
DJ and podcast host Georgie Crawford has
spoken about how she is considering surrogacy with her partner Jamie Crawford.
The Good Glow host outlined her decision to pursue surrogacy on a recent episode of the podcast.
Crawford opened up about how she began considering this route following her experience with breast cancer.
She explained: "When I was diagnosed, you meet your oncologist and they give you your treatment plan and the treatment plan for me was five months of chemotherapy, four months of radiotherapy, and then they said they wanted me to go on a drug called tamoxifen for up to five years.
"When they said that, I was more upset about going on tamoxifen. I was more upset about that than chemotherapy because I felt chemotherapy would be a moment in time but tamoxifen just felt very long. And I also knew that you can’t have a baby when you’re on tamoxifen. They don’t encourage you to conceive."

Georgie started to "do the sums" in her head about how old she would be when she'd come off treatment. When the star heard about how
Rosanna Davison welcomed a daughter through surrogacy, she decided to look into it for herself.
"It gave so many women hope," she said. "And I started to really consider surrogacy and thought maybe this will be an option for us too."
After much research, Georgie and Jamie began the process.
"A couple of weeks ago, we signed a few documents and we're in the process of getting our embryos to Ukraine. So it's really exciting. It's really real now.
"I suppose before it was a dream and now we feel like we're in the process of it."
Georgie and Jamie tied the knot in 2015. The couple welcomed their first child, their daughter Pia, in 2017.
