Summary
- A 19-year-old cancer survivor is celebrating a medical miracle by expecting her first child.
- She was diagnosed with leukaemia at 15 and told conception would be unlikely.
- Frankie-Ella rang the hospital bell cancer-free just before Christmas 2023.
Frankie-Ella Lloyd, a 19-year-old from Chelmsford, Essex, is experiencing a profound "medical miracle" as she anticipates the arrival of her first child in the new year, following a courageous battle with cancer. At just 15, she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in September 2021, prompting immediate and intensive chemotherapy treatment.
Her journey through treatment was arduous, described as painful and draining, impacting her teenage years significantly. However, in December 2023, Frankie-Ella was declared cancer-free and celebrated by ringing the hospital bell. She was informed that conceiving naturally might be improbable due to her treatment, which was thought to have affected her fertility.
To her immense surprise and joy, Frankie-Ella discovered she was pregnant in May 2025. Despite a challenging pregnancy marked by pain and sickness, she and her family are filled with anticipation for their daughter's birth in early 2026. Her doctor has referred to her pregnancy as a true medical miracle.
