Jean Daguerre and her husband struggled to have a baby. As such, they did what many other couples do \u2013 get help in the shape of infertility<\/a> treatment. Luckily for Jean, the therapy worked and she bore a baby boy.<\/p>\n

Her joy was compounded when less than 12 months later she fell pregnant again; this time without the need for infertility treatment.<\/p>\n

However, the joy was short lived as just 6 days afterwards the new mother was diagnosed with breast cancer<\/a>. Speaking with reporters, Jean said: “The first thought was, ‘What about the baby?’\u201d<\/p>\n
