Patient Story
Lisa Woodgate
Pregnancy is supposed to be one of the happiest times in a woman’s life. With a two-year-old son at home, I was overjoyed to learn we were having a little girl. Everything seemed perfect until 21 weeks pregnant, when I noticed a small mass near my knee in January 2025. After a whirlwind of appointments and tests, the biopsy initially came back benign. We felt such relief. But weeks later, I received the call that changed everything: additional pathology revealed cancer. Hearing that word while 26 weeks pregnant was devastating. At 34 weeks, I underwent surgery to remove the mass, and at 37 weeks I delivered my daughter by c-section. She faced complications at birth and spent nearly two weeks in the NICU while I prepared for radiation treatment. About two weeks after bringing her home, I began 34 rounds of radiation, commuting two hours each day with my newborn by my side. By the grace of God, I am now cancer-free. I am incredibly thankful for the support of my family, friends, people I had never met, and the GRACE Cancer Foundation.
Without the GRACE Cancer Foundation, I don’t know how I would have made it through treatment. What started as seeking support turned into gaining lifelong friends. I am eternally grateful.
Thank you, GRACE Cancer Foundation, for being such an important part of my story.
