Children of Chemotherapy

No. 29 JANUARY 2018

«I would give my life for my child». How often have we heard a mother say this? But when a woman is pregnant and discovers that she has cancer, these words become real, palpable and atrociously brutal. What do you feel when facing death and also generating a life within you? This is the portrait of five women who faced the unimaginable: Anabela, who let her tumour grow in order to be a mother; Raquel and Liliana, who had chemotherapy during pregnancy; Gintare, who fought to the death for Salvador to be born; and Michelle, one of the first women in the country to become a mother while taking medication for chronic myeloid leukaemia. In «Children of Chemotherapy», life does not always win, but love yes, that always manages to win.
