In 2021, she was healthy and excited about starting a family with her partner. Nearly four years later, she is navigating life with a rare, aggressive illness, pursuing every treatment available while creating lasting memories for the daughter she once feared she might never meet. It began with a symptom that seemed more inconvenient than alarming, a sudden loss of mobility on an otherwise ordinary morning. Within days, the search for answers would reveal a condition so rare and aggressive that doctors were forced to measure her time in months, not years. She was a young expectant mother whose days should have been filled with nursery plans and baby kicks, not scans and medical briefings. In the months that followed, her world became a delicate balance of protecting new life while fighting for her own, and of holding on to hope even when the prognosis left little room for it.
