An Unexpected Bond: Motherhood and Cancer

Sydney had just given birth when she started experiencing strange symptoms. First rib pain, then back pain that wouldn’t let up. She saw an orthopedic specialist who advised her to take some ibuprofen, but something told Sydney that wasn’t going to do the trick. After seeking additional medical advice, Sydney soon learned she had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and required immediate and aggressive treatment. As a new mom, Sydney formed an immediate connection with her treating physician, Kathryn Hudson, M.D., of Texas Oncology-Austin Central, who was an expectant mother herself. Whether it was a mother’s intuition or the bond that motherhood brings, Sydney knew she was in good hands.
