A Co Down woman who was told she had little chance of pregnancy after cancer treatment, recently welcomed a new baby daughter.
Leanne Molloy, who works as a pharmacist in Castlewellan, was in her mid-30s when she found that she was having difficulties swallowing food. She was then given the devastating diagnosis of oesophageal cancer and told that there would be little chance of pregnancy after the treatment. She had no time to freeze eggs.
After “a hell” of an emotional roller coaster with tests, scans, chemotherapy cycles and a difficult surgery in between, Leanne found out she was pregnant with her second child. Last month marked two years since Leanne’s cancer operation.
