Lauren agreed that being able to focus on her health and baby separately was a huge advantage: "It was easier to deal with it once Adelyn was outside of my body because there wasn't this constant guilt and fear anymore," she explained. "I wasn't making decisions for two in the same way I was every time I made a medical decision — either to take treatment, to go through surgery or undergo chemo — all of those things."
Although Lauren was out of the woods as far as the baby goes, she was still only halfway to the finish line: she still needed to get the results from her PET scan. Thankfully, in episode 17 of the series — when Adelyn was just two weeks old — we learn that Lauren's cancer didn't spread, meaning she was officially in remission and cancer-free.
After getting the incredible news, Lauren and Steve embraced parenthood like never before.
"One thing that Steve did a good job of from day one was convincing me that we're not treating my diagnosis like there's a chance something could go wrong," said Lauren. "If the PET scan came back and tell us something scary, we were going to go into [treatment] confidently . . . we were going to do everything right so we could never deal with this again. That's really how we looked at it from day one, so it didn't really change our approach."
