Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Just ask Katelyn Burkholder.
Her first plot twist came in when she and her husband decided they wanted to start a family. In 2012, after months of trying, she finally saw a positive pregnancy test only to end up in emergency surgery with an ectopic pregnancy.
In 2016, Katelyn decided to try again. This time, gearing up for an IVF round that would most definitely be the answer to their prayers.
Enter breast cancer.
Katelyn’s planned IVF cycle ends up being a fast track round of IVF to preserve her eggs before undergoing treatment to fight the cancer that now took center stage in her life.
As if this situation isn’t high stakes enough, Katelyn yielded one healthy baby boy embryo from that IVF cycle. He’s waiting patiently while Kaitlin fights the biggest battle of her life.
ONE. HEALTHY. BOY. EMBRYO.
Today, Katelyn is bravely facing her cancer journey with her bestie @itsthetleeshow right by her side, matching bald heads an’ all.
They’ve decided to start a TikTok page to document Katelyn’s journey, and to help other people touched by cancer feel seen, heard, and less alone. (With Tracey in the mix, they’ll also be wildly entertained.) You can find these besties on the Tok @bad.titty.committee
We’re all rooting for you Katelyn, and mark my words, we’re gonna find you the most PERFECT surrogate when the time is right. (Just dropping that lil’ nugget out into the universe.)
