In February 2020, Shelly Battista was nursing her first daughter, Emilia, when she noticed a lump.
“Chemotherapy attacks rapidly dividing cell and so that includes the cancer cells and this is why chemotherapy is so life-saving, but other rapidly dividing cells include the cells in the ovary that contain those eggs, that, you know, we are born with just a limited supply. And so if we lose those eggs during chemotherapy, those are not replenishable,” the doctor explained.
On December 9, 2020, Battista was declared cancer free, however the chemo damaged her ovaries, causing a condition where they stop working before age 40. The BRCA 1 mutation also increased Battista’s chances for ovarian cancer, so after consulting with her doctors, Battista opted to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed.
Nina and Margot were delivered on December 9, 2022, exactly two years to the day that Shelly was declared cancer free.
