17. Brenda Behan, LSW Talks About Losing Tucker and MS While Pregnant
Brenda Behan, LSW, learned there was something wrong with her son, Tucker, when a cystic hygroma was detected at her first ultrasound appointment.
At that time, she was experiencing numbness on the right side of her body. Soon after, a large lesion was detected on her brain stem, MS was diagnosed, and treatment began.
Brenda had many difficult decisions to make including:
- Continuing to work in her "dream job" or take care of herself
- Terminate her pregnancy or carry Tucker
- Leave or stay in her marriage
- Getting help from a therapist
Tucker's memory is preserved through the work Brenda and her husband, Trevor, do through Good Day Racing.
