Woman's Cancer Resurfaces, Spreads To Brain During Pregnancy After Being Repeatedly Assured She's Cancer-Free; 'Do More Tests,' She Urges

A 38-year-old U.K. woman, now facing stage 4 brain cancer after multiple recurrences urges cancer survivors to push for additional tests regardless of their stage of cancer. Her plea comes after her cancer resurfaced while she was pregnant with her fourth child, despite repeatedly being assured that she was cancer-free and her melanoma had not spread.

Kelly Heather from Kent, England, was told she was "all clear" last April after battling aggressive cancer since 2017. Just two weeks later, she discovered that she was pregnant. However, things took a sharp turn at 35 weeks of her pregnancy, when she had to be hospitalized with a seizure and doctors diagnosed her with terminal brain cancer.
