Brant and Kristy Carpenter were married in 2012. In 2013, they welcomed their first son, Cameron. On May 30, 2016, due to complications, a C-section was necessary to deliver their second son, James, at only 33 weeks.
During the C-section, the doctor found an 8 centimeter tumor on her ovary which was then removed and biopsied. The results of the tumor’s biopsy showed cancer and it was soon discovered that cancer had spread to Kristy’s lungs, spine, and sternum.
The final pathology report determined that Kristy had a rare form of cancer called Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and she was given a prognosis of 10-12 months to live.
Kristy says, “To say my world was shattered is an understatement. I had been told that I may not make it to my brand new baby’s first birthday…but we are not giving up. And, we are making the best out of what God has given to us.”
