And so from there, they said, okay, we'll just do surgery during your second trimester.

That's when the baby is safest.

And then we'll go from there to see what stage you're at.

And we prayed about it, and we felt peace with that.

And so we did that, and surgery was fine.

They just removed the skin around that, and it was all clear except—

They did biopsy one lymph node that was nearby and that tested positive for cancer.

Yes, which puts me at stage three.

But it was small enough that they were comfortable letting me go full term with the pregnancy.

I mean, they were throwing out horrific scenarios leading up to this.

So the fact that they were okay with me going full term was good, but still, LOL.

I was gonna do that regardless.

So the baby came, she was healthy.

And so after that, we just did watch and scans.

And I mean, I had a newborn and three toddlers, so I can look back and feel like maybe I put my head in the sand and pretended like it didn't happen.

But in my heart, I just know that that chapter didn't feel closed yet because of the second diagnosis that I got back in January of 2024.

No, no, no.

Which kid?

Yeah, yeah.

So all the scans were clear up until January of 2024.
