Just about every mom around could write a full-length novel on the process of bringing a child into the world. Whether she adopts, uses a surrogate, or goes through pregnancy, each mother’s story is as unique as it spectacular.
For some moms, the process of child birthing and child rearing comes with a surprise or two, as in the case of this mom who discovered that her twins were actually triplets.
For others, it’s simply a matter of getting through it by whatever means necessary, like this awesome mama who fought her way through labor to the sweet sound of “Tootsie Roll.” But for some moms, the experience is truly about triumph over the spirit above all else.
Such was the case for Sarah Erzen, of Holt Michigan. The 34-year-old mom of two was pregnant with her third child when she noticed something distressing—a lump in her breast. While breast changes are normal during pregnancy, she had a bad feeling, and went in to get it checked.
She’s lucky she did, because her suspicions were correct. Sarah Erzen had stage 3 breast cancer. She was 26 weeks pregnant when she went into treatment. She lost the breast, but she managed to beat the disease, and deliver a sweet baby girl, Adeline.
Adeline is now almost 2 years old, and Sarah is in remission, which is truly wonderful to hear. Check out the video below to hear the rest of their story, and listen to Sarah’s important message for all other women.
