💨 Abstract

After giving birth, Kristie Wood experienced unexplained abdominal swelling. Despite initial dismissal, she sought medical help and was diagnosed with a ruptured, cancerous cyst. Due to her daughter's young age and the COVID-19 pandemic's isolation, Kristie found her chemotherapy and recovery extremely challenging. Alongside the grim reality of fighting cancer, she faced the difficulty of not being there for her six-month-old daughter at home.
