Mother risks her life to save her baby

Elizabeth Joice

Elizabeth Joice, an American, chose the life of her daughter over her own when she postponed cancer treatment to give birth, CNN reported.

It all happened last summer when the 36-year-old woman began chemotherapy ― which could affect her fertility ― that she discovered she was pregnant.

It was like a miracle but the joy of the news did not last long because the tumor growth had recurred around her disks and she had to undergo surgery again.

The operation went well and the tumor was successfully removed but there was more trouble on the way; she had to undergo a full-body scan to determine that all of the tumor had been removed and this meant that she had to abort the fetus.

Confronted with the choice of her life or the life of her baby, Joice decided to forgo any further cancer treatment until she gave birth at the risk of allowing the tumor to grow to the degree of mortality.

Three months into her pregnancy, she could feel the tumor spreading throughout her body to the point that she had trouble breathing.

Conditions continued to worsen and Joice had to undergo C-section two months before the baby was due. She managed to give birth to a beautiful girl, Lilly.
