Kathleen Osborne, a mom-of-two, was diagnosed with cancer for the third time when she was four months pregnant with her third child but had no idea.

After an MRI scan, the 28-year-old was told she had two options; either to abort her baby so she could start chemotherapy, or have a leg amputation.

Twenty-four hours after, Kathleen decided to have her entire right leg amputated, to get rid of the bone cancer instead of abort her baby.

The operation was a success and Kathleen gave birth to baby Aida-May eight weeks early, via caesarean section, UK Metro reports.

Kathleen said, “I’m happy I made the decision to lose my leg because it gave me my daughter.
