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.
