Sophie Martyr was just 13 years old when she learnt she had brain cancer and was asked to make a decision about whether she wanted to have children in the future. To some, it's an obvious choice. For Sophie, feeling shaken and coming to grips with the months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy ahead, the last thing she wanted was another surgery and her first answer was no.
