In memory of Christa*

Diagnosed at age 33

On the day I gave birth to my son, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Nothing could have been more of a shock to me. I struggled to share the news of my diagnosis with loved ones because I didn't want this serious news to take away from the very exciting news that I had given birth to a beautiful baby boy.
