The mother, whose identity is unknown, found that she had stage 3 breast cancer during her pregnancy. She had to do chemotherapy and remove one breast. She had an induced labor in the 36th week of her pregnancy in order to continue her cancer treatment.

Here’s what Mary wrote about the picture:
“ This is the definition of strength, love and pure beauty. This mother was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer during her pregnancy. One of her breasts was removed and she got chemo while carrying her wonder-baby. The boy was born ready to show the strength he got from his mom. He started breastfeeding from her breast and the room got filled with emotions. Breastfeeding is a sacred bond and this bond filled my heart with love.”
