A young family is in the fight of its life, after both parents of an 18-month-old girl got life-threatening news about their health.
Less than a year ago, 39-year-old Jazz Turgeon and 35-year-old Patrick Haggart were the happiest they’d ever been.
After a challenging IVF journey, the married Montreal couple’s daughter Amelia was born and watching her grow was giving them endless joy.
“I was just so thrilled,” said Turgeon. “It just felt like everything we worked so hard for had finally become reality.”
“Life was good, and then suddenly it wasn’t,” said Haggart.
In January of 2024, the first bit of bad news came. Turgeon went to the doctor after experiencing some dizzy spells and she soon found out she has a brain tumour that’s been growing in her head since childhood.
It’s not cancerous, but doctors say that can change any time.
“It’s almost like I didn’t believe it, which I think is part of the process,” she told Global News. “I was very in shock.”
Just over a month later, on Valentine’s Day, Haggart doubled over with agonizing abdominal pain. He was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with appendicitis. During surgery, doctors found something else.
