Mother Battles Ovarian Cancer While Pregnant

Shortly after Melanie Colton discovered she was pregnant, she felt a lump. Ultrasounds revealed a devastating diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Melanie and her husband Clint's life transformed into a whirlwind of appointments as she fought cancer and began chemotherapy at Methodist.
