From the first time Daisy Martinez heard the thumping of her baby’s heartbeat, she was in love. She always wanted to be a mother and hoped for a baby girl. She even had a name picked out: Aliyanna.
When doctors confirmed Martinez was having a baby girl, she was elated. Unfortunately, her joy was short-lived. During an ultrasound 25 weeks into her pregnancy, the ultrasound technician noticed something amiss. A large lump was growing on Aliyanna’s spine.
Initially, doctors in her hometown in Oregon, believed the lump was spina bifida, but after Martinez was referred to a hospital in Portland, doctors confirmed the unimaginable: the growth was cancerous.
