Leonor Childers, 46, and a mother of four, was pregnant with her second set of twins when diagnosed with breast cancer. Leonor had to undergo A mastectomy, chemotherapy, an emergency C-section, more chemotherapy plus six weeks of radiation. Then two weeks later Childers went into cardiac arrest. With Leonors body not being able to endure a transplant, her doctors used a new technology called the HeartMate II (heartpump- used to sustain heart-failure patients until a donor heart becomes available).
