The article goes on to explain that the mother and her husband already had two children and was nine weeks pregnant with her third when she found out she had leukemia.

I know that TV ≠ real life, and they’re not really even comparable, but this reminded me of an episode of Grey’s Anatomy (called Save Me) where the woman refuses to treat her cancer because of her baby.

For some reason, in my mind, the baby wasn’t meant to be in that case. There’s always another chance to get pregnant, but there’s only one shot of keeping yourself alive to see that chance.
