THIS PHARMACIST spent years supporting cancer patients before BECOMING ONE HERSELF and after having an ovary and fallopian tube removed surprised everyone when she overcame the odds and fell PREGNANT with a baby boy.

Oncology pharmacist Dr. Amy Smith-Morris (32) from Saskatoon, Canada specialises as a pharmacist in cancer care, which led her to working for the Saskatchewan Health Authority, providing care for patients fighting cancer.

In September 2016, Amy and her husband, Marc (31), got married and took a honeymoon to Italy and Greece where they took in the beautiful sights and local foods. However, weeks passed after their return home and Amy was still noticing symptoms which she initially thought were a result of her recent holiday, including weight gain and bloating.

When she became troubled by heartburn also, Amy went to her GP who then referred her for an ultrasound. But due to Amy only being 30 at the time, cancer wasn’t expected to be the outcome. Unfortunately, the ultrasound found a large tumour on Amy’s ovary, which was later confirmed to be cancerous.

Within weeks, Amy underwent surgery to remove one ovary, which had been engulfed by a 21-centimetre tumour, and a fallopian tube. In December 2016, Amy began her first of four chemotherapy cycles, with her final round in March 2017.

Throughout her cancer fight, Amy maintained a positive mindset and held onto her beliefs of one day starting a family of her own. Then, in the summer of 2018, Amy received the exciting news that she was expecting her first child in 2019, despite having an ovary removed.
