Though Catherine was happy with her married life as a wife, she got a terrible shock as a mother when she came to know about her son Peter's health condition. Her son Peter was diagnosed with very rare chronic liver cancer since his birth. The disease was termed Biliary atresia which blocked his bile ducts and ultimately led to progressive damage to his vital body functions.

What Did She Do to Save Her Son Life

When her son was diagnosed with cancer, the whole family along with Catherine got shocked. The doctor prescribed that Peter's liver should be transplanted to save his life. So, the family ultimately decided to transplant his liver, however, they were unable to get any donor for a long time.

Finally, Catherine, herself decided to donate her liver after her husband became ready to take care of her 19-months-old daughter Jamie. Finally, the operation was held on 6 June 2006 while Peter was still an infant. By donating a part of their own liver to a child, she has proven how daring and loving could a mother be and became the living example of motherhood.

Despite being a media personality, Catherine herself loves to keep her personal information secret. So that talking more about her personal life is like breaking an Iron bar.
