Shaina Hurley is a very strong woman … because she battled cancer during her pregnancy, and she beat the disease.
The “Love is Blind” star says she was 3 months pregnant when she found out she had cervical cancer … revealing her diagnosis for the first time in a new interview with PEOPLE.
Shaina says a routine pap smear alerted doctors to the stage 2 cervical cancer in her body … which came as a shock to her, because she had no symptoms.
The reality TV alum says her diagnosis at first caused fear to creep into her mind … but she went into “survival mode,” prayed and ultimately delivered a healthy baby boy at 37 weeks … her first with husband Christos Lardakis.
Shaina says she refused surgeries and chemotherapy during her pregnancy … rolling the dice and waiting until after delivery to go under the knife.
After two surgeries, Shaina says she was declared cancer free in June … only 4 months after giving birth.
