Rhiannon Fletcher is a patient who had a spinal tumor while pregnant.
History[]
Rhiannon agreed to be a surrogate for her brother, Julian, and his husband, Carl, after all their attempts to become parents had failed. Rhiannon soon became pregnant. During her pregnant, she was diagnosed with a spinal hemangioblastoma. Four doctors told her that they couldn't operate unless she first terminated the pregnancy. Unwilling to do that, Rhiannon continued to seek other opinions. Finally, Amelia Shepherd agreed to operate, but told Rhiannon she was prioritize her life and health over the fetus. During the surgery, they briefly lost blood flow to her legs and the fetus became unstable, but they were able to restore blood flow and Rhiannon's surgery was completed successfully.
