I Was Pregnant When They Told Me I Had Breast Cancer


Listen Later

When Faith was pregnant, she was told she had stage 2 breast cancer.

In this powerful episode of In Mother Words, she shares what it was like to face an impossible choice — to fight for her own life while carrying new life within her.

Through tears, courage, and faith, Faith opens up about going through chemotherapy during pregnancy, drawing strength from her daughter, and how the experience reshaped her view of motherhood and purpose.

This episode is part of our 4-part series on Breast Cancer Awareness and Motherhood, featuring real stories of strength, love, and hope — told by mothers who remind us that hope isn’t found at the end of the journey, but in how we live each day.
