At eight months pregnant, first-time mother-to-be Jessi Collins began experiencing shortness of breath. After a trip to the ER, she learned she had a massive tumor near her lungs. After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer in the lymph nodes, Jessi did the only thing she could do: Put her faith in the hands of her doctors.

“I thought to myself, ‘This cannot be happening. I am 31 years old and 31 weeks pregnant. How can this be?’ It was very surreal,” says Jessi. “There were times when I was furious and said to myself, ‘This just isn’t fair.'”

 Read more about Jessi’s story and learn how her “miracle team” of doctors helped keep both her and her baby healthy.
