An airline worker told her brain cancer treatment could prevent natural conception is "over the moon" to be a new mum. Samantha Toomey, 31, discovered she had a tumour after suffering a stroke while on the phone with her boyfriend Tom Lawler, 31. Years of treatment followed - during which time she was told that her chances of conceiving naturally would be impacted.
However, after beginning to freeze embryos, the couple - both 31- got some amazing news in April last year - that they had conceived without artificial help. Samantha then gave birth to baby Billie in December, and has announced that she will be marrying Tom next month after their wedding was delayed due to Covid.
She said: "It’ll be such a special day – having originally planned to marry in August 2020, we’ve postponed the wedding several times. But as they say, everything happens for a reason, and the fact that Billie will be there with us will make it extra magical and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
