And then, the sad reality became apparent: the results indicated a high likelihood of cancer, and a subsequent biopsy confirmed it. It turned out that the pregnant woman had breast cancer.
Doctors told her that the condition had likely spread due to the tumor’s size. But since she was pregnant, they couldn’t verify it, as undergoing a positron emission tomography (PET) scan would endanger the fetus.

So, the doctors decided to induce the young mother’s labor three weeks early.
After giving birth to her daughter, the young mother underwent all the necessary examinations. She discovered that she had stage four breast cancer, and the metastasis had spread to her liver.
