Sylvan Lake mother shares story of strength following cancer battle
A cancer survivor from Sylvan Lake is sharing her story of strength after a photoshoot of her baring her scars, and ostomy bag, from a battle with cancer went viral on social media.
In December of 2017, Lindsay Percy, who was eight months pregnant, went to the hospital complaining about extreme weakness and fatigue.
When her doctor realized she also suffered from Crohn’s disease, he chalked it up to pregnancy side effects and disease flare-ups, then sent her home.
By Christmas, Percy had gotten worse and was induced for her daughter to be born, one month premature.
