A woman with breast cancer is breastfeeding her newborn child. Look at the photos that have moved the world

An American woman discovers she is expecting a baby, but a few months later she is diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Not wanting to give up pregnancy, the woman, whose name remains unknown, undergoes the first chemotherapy treatments, interrupting them with the advice of the doctors on the eve of the birth.

After the birth of the baby, beautiful and healthy, and after having undergone a partial mastectomy during the course of the therapies, the woman does not give up breastfeeding her baby with the only breast left, even for a short time, before resuming chemotherapy.
