My name is Aimee Parani, and on March 8th, 2013, I found out that I was pregnant with a baby girl. Then the next day, March 9th, I found out that I had breast cancer. My life was turned upside down. I met with my doctor and we started chemotherapy a week later, so I went through chemotherapy being pregnant. I was induced 2 weeks early and my daughter was born healthy with a full head of hair and I was bald. We waited 8 weeks to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction. Then waited a couple of months to heal and then had 30 rounds of radiation. After that waited about 6 months and had a total hysterectomy because I tested positive for the BRAC gene. My daughter just turned 6💗💗
