Baby born to couple who were undergoing chemotherapy during pregnancy described as 'miracle'
Consultant haematologist, Dr Salim Shafeek said being pregnant and having high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma was exceptionally rare
Dr Salim Shafeek, who treated the couple from Evesham, said: "The combination of being pregnant and having high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma is exceptionally rare, and Bethany is the first case of this I've treated in my 25 years as a consultant haematologist." Dr Shafeek said they could not use stronger treatment, or delay chemotherapy, which had to be finished by 35 weeks to enable her to recover enough for childbirth.
