Her Story

We found a mass in my daughter’s brain at a random 39 1/2 week ultrasound and I had to have an emergency c-section within a few hours. I didn’t get to meet, touch or see her until a day after she was born, then she was taken to a different hospital from me. She had brain surgery at 3 days old and was diagnosed with brain cancer.

My world changed very quickly, I even made them discharge me before my body was ready in order to be with her. It was a very scary start to motherhood… surgeries, watching a tiny infant go through chemotherapy and the unimaginable.

But here we are, 2 1/2 years later and my tiny warrior won her battle. She beat all odds and statistics, and she has been tumor free for over two years now. Everly is a beautiful, happy, perfect little girl.

"They said there was zero sperm. Even though my boyfriend wasn't fully awake, I saw wet eyes tears rolling on his face. It was the first time I saw him crying. It was also the first time I really saw that he wanted this for us."

"My therapist told me that getting an infertility diagnosis affects your brain the same way as getting a cancer diagnosis. It’s just heartbreak, I guess."
