Mother who was told her pregnancy could KILL her says she'd risk it all again after having a baby boy
Rachel Kierstenson (pictured left during pregnancy), 37, from Hertford, was diagnosed with cancer after finding a lump in her right breast.
She was given the all clear just months later but the damaging effects of chemotherapy (inset) meant her chances of having a family were slim. Doctors warned that even if she did fall pregnant, the cancer, which is triggered by a change in hormones, may return and put her life in danger. Despite the risks, Mrs Kierstenson and husband, Michael, 36, were desperate to have a baby and began trying to conceive naturally. Two years later the couple turned to IVF and after just one round, she became pregnant and gave birth to son, Logan (right).
