It’s a testament to her courage that she underwent life-saving chemotherapy and had to endure having her baby delivered nine weeks earlier. She asks, “what’s worse than not having a mum?” (if she hadn’t beaten the cancer). The little boy is growing up completely healthy!
On YouTube, her video is liked 1,268 times (at this writing) and only 34 dislikes — that’s incredibly positive. The Aussies clearly love her singing and love her pro-life story as well!
