Shannon Lamb, 29, had to stall her dreams to pursue a music career after she was diagnosed with the disease in 2020.
A courageous Scots mum who had to stall her music career after being diagnosed with cancer has met with her idol, Pixie Lott .
Shannon, from Broughty Ferry in Angus, said: “I was three weeks pregnant. It felt like everything collapsed around me. I was happy because I was pregnant but I was also devastated. It was a time of so many mixed emotions. I desperately wanted to have this baby but felt instantly protective of it. I didn’t want to do anything that would put the health of the baby at risk.”
But further tests showed the cancer had spread to her spine, pelvic bone, lymph node and a 5cm mass next to her right kidney. Doctors explained the cancer was now stage four. Shannon had her first chemotherapy session at 31 weeks pregnant. It meant four weeks in hospital while doctors collected healthy stem cells from Shannon then she started high doses of chemotherapy followed by the stem cells being administered back in to her body through a drip. Later that summer she returned for her second transplant but was finally able to come home to Scotland on August 4 last year.
