Amelia Edwards and Lyle MacDougall have desperately been trying to access the sperm sample they have saved at Conceptia Fertility Clinic in Moncton, N.B. It s their only chance to conceive because of MacDougall s fight with testicular cancer. (Submitted by Amelia Edwards)
Lyle MacDougall and Amelia Edwards were just friends when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer four years ago.
At the time, Edwards says, they didn t realize the significance of the advice provided by MacDougall s mother that he should go to Conceptia Fertility Clinic in Moncton, N.B. His mother had the great foresight to insist that he preserve some sperm in the event the worst-case scenario happened, Edwards says.
