Woman Survives Breast Cancer, Mastectomy, and Still Gets Pregnant

A maternity picture of a Portuguese woman who has survived breast cancer has gone viral.

Although she only has one breast because of a mastectomy, breast cancer didn't stop this Portuguese woman from having children. In her maternity picture, the woman is smiling happily, covering her left breast with the words written across her mastectomy scar and baby bump that, in Portuguese says, "Tive cancer de mama e hoje eu tenho o Theo". 

In English, the saying is "I had breast cancer and now I have Theo".
