Lindsey Gritton went to the doctor for a checkup. She was told to have cancer (癌症). The doctor said that she might have about six months to live. Lindsey is young. She has a small daughter. She was having another baby developing inside her body when she knew about her illness. It was heartbreaking. She was not prepared for the cancer journey, but she started it anyway.

To begin chemo (化疗), Lindsey had to wait until after her baby was born. Even then, doctors were telling her that chemo would not help her. She prayed, had her daughter early, and began chemo anyway. All of Lindsey’s hair fell out. But she never lost her hope. She continued fighting for her life.

Lindsey’s primary goal during chemo was to make memories with her family. She exercised and ate healthily so she would feel better through the treatments. Throughout her cancer journey, Lindsey never lost hope. When it was time for a new scan (扫描) after chemo, everyone was nervous, waiting for the result. What happened was something no one expected!
