In response to "That pregnant teen from the Dominican Republic would was denied chemo treatment has died." by Reagen

I just read an article on this on CNN, and I'm confused about something.

Was chemo put off for a long time because of the baby? I saw she eventually did receive chemo, and miscarried shortly before going into cardiac arrest. Was the fact that she was still pregnant resulting in additional health issues to her?

The whole thing is just sad.
