Having had to fight for her life when she was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant at age 29, gave Heather a new perspective on life and marriage. She and her husband had to rely upon a bedrock foundation of trust, support, faith, tenacity and persistence to survive and protect the life of their unborn baby, while keeping their marriage intact.

"I'd rather die, than take the life of my child."
-Heather Choate, Fighting For Our Lives
At age 29, Best-selling author Heather Choate was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was ten weeks pregnant with her sixth child. Her unborn baby was at risk due to the fast-spreading and highly dangerous cancer in Heather’s body that had already spread to her lymph nodes. Doctors told her she needed to abort her baby to save her life. Heather told them, “I’d rather die than take the life of my baby.” She and her husband set out to find a way to save both her and her child. The journey pushed them to the fringes of their stamina, tested the strength of their familial relationships and found them clinging to their faith like it was the last bit of thread on a lifeline.

“Heather’s story is an honest, heartfelt journey not only through cancer but also through self-awareness, self-discovery, and life! We may not all be infused with toxic poison, lose our hair, or undergo disfiguring surgery, but we all must face demons of insecurity in order to discover our true inner beauty and infinite worth.
