Willow Tait is facing the decision of a lifetime on "General Hospital." Amid coming to terms with her leukemia diagnosis, Willow's next move is the most critical. If she wants to treat it early, her fetus' life is in danger. However, if she waits to protect the fetus, the disease could spread to a point beyond treatment, and Willow could perish. Per Soaps.com, Willow's portrayer Katelyn MacMullen gave her perspective on the toughest judgment of her character's life? MacMullen said, "If she starts treatment at that juncture, there is more of a chance there could be complications such as miscarriage."
MacMullen continued to tease the danger awaiting Willow if she foregoes treatment, even for a while, saying, "She has to decide between starting her treatment immediately and trying to cut off the cancer as soon as possible or waiting, and we all know what that means. The cancer could spread, but the fetus has a better chance of surviving. In the end, it's a huge decision to make."
Unfortunately, Willow is going through the entire ordeal alone because no one, besides medical professionals, is aware of her diagnosis. However, the leukemia battle and potential search for a bone marrow match could finally lead to the revelation that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is Willow's biological mother and reveal what happened to Nina during her coma (via Soap Hub).
