At 37 years old and 20 weeks pregnant, I received a life-changing diagnosis: colorectal cancer. My tumor was discovered on December 19, 2024. Since then, I have completed six rounds of chemotherapy while continuing my pregnancy. After I deliver my baby in April 2025, I will undergo two additional rounds of chemotherapy.
Once chemotherapy is complete, I will begin five and a half weeks of radiation along with oral chemotherapy pills, followed by surgery. This journey has been incredibly challenging, but I am determined to keep moving forward for myself and my growing family.
