Today, Ali talks to Nicole about dealing with cancer and infertility at the same time. Nicole explains how she went to a chiropractor who found a bump under her jawline--and just hours later, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which meant doing chemo every other week for two months. At the same time, Nicole was battling PCOS and an infertility journey--all the while wondering how the cancer treatment might interfere with her family building story. She also talks about her Christian upbringing, finding out she was pregnant on Valentine's Day 2020, and what happened when she was diagnosed with another cancer, chronic myelogenous leukemia, or CML.
