'It was a miracle in itself that she was healthy and ready to join the world.'

Brooke Taylor said it was"maternal instinct" during her pregnancy that led her to push her doctor to feel a lump in her breast that resulted in a breast cancer diagnosis on the same day she gave birth to her first child.

Taylor had an ultrasound and a biopsy performed on the lump the next day. A breast health surgeon called her at home early the next morning, July 22, to tell her she had breast cancer. "It was a miracle in itself that she was healthy and ready to join the world," Taylor said of Elsie, who was born without complications at 38 weeks."We spent the whole day just being kind of in shock and enjoying our new baby."

The chemotherapy -- expected to last 20 weeks -- will be followed by a double mastectomy, then six weeks of radiation and then breast reconstruction surgery after that followed later on by a possible surgery, if Taylor chooses, to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes to help reduce the risk of ovarian cancer that the BRCA1 gene brings.

"I don’t know what normal is because I went from pregnancy to medically-induced menopause," she said."I have hormones all over the place."
