Joe Powell and her husband Richard have been trying to conceive for years, but the journey has been long and difficult. In 2010, their wish came true!
A few days later, Joe’s enthusiastic mood quickly changed. The woman found a lump in her chest … She was immediately afraid that she would lose the child she and her husband had been waiting for so long.
The doctors made a diagnosis. It was breast cancer. Treatment had to begin immediately, but Jo could not agree to chemo in the early stages of her pregnancy. The cancer was made even more aggressive by the hormones that had increased in number and activity due to the pregnancy.
As it turned out, this accelerates the spread of cancer throughout the body. It’s time to make the most serious decision in Joe’s life. At the 10th week of pregnancy, doctors said that the woman would have to sacrifice the life of an unborn child. This is the only way to save herself.
The couple made a decision that surprised all the doctors and made this family famous all over the world! Risk is a noble cause. Jo refused to terminate her pregnancy and. today she is celebrating her full recovery in the company of her son Jake.
“I knew that we have no right to abandon our child. I didn’t even have the option of sacrificing his life for mine. I can’t believe we’re both alive and well. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world!” Jo confessed.
This story proves that sometimes in life, indeed, a real miracle can happen, but only on condition that you fight for your happiness!
