When they diagnosed a woman in the United Kingdom with cervical cancer, doctors told her she had months left to live and that she would be unable to have any more children. Three years later, she proved them wrong and not only survived her disease but also gave birth to a baby boy.

Helen Dixon, a mother from Leeds, United Kingdom, started feeling sick in 2014. Initially, her doctors thought her symptoms were due to a miscarriage. However, a smear test at the beginning of 2015 revealed something much worse; the then-32-year-old woman had cancer, and her prognosis was terrible, per Daily Mail.
