The young mother-to-be was 20 weeks pregnant when she found out she had stage four, aggressive lymphoma.
Months later, on September 19, 2025, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
"We're just so happy! I just feel excitement and joy looking at her and hope. If she can come out being healthy, normal and happy, all those things after the chemo that she's been through with me, I'll be okay," says Kincade.
At three pounds and nine ounces, baby Addison Marie is a real-life miracle.
It was a dream come true when Kincade found out she was pregnant.

Like any soon-to-be mother, she monitored her symptoms, but quickly realized something wasn't right.
After seeing several doctors, at five months pregnant, she learned the devastating news.
She had stage four lymphoma.
Since her diagnosis, both mom and baby have undergone five rounds of chemotherapy together.
Just two weeks after their last session, baby Addi came early.
The newborn was delivered safely through C-section at Saint Agnes Medical Center.
"Kind of crazy that my little chemo buddy is with me today. It's been really heartwarming to have her with me through all of the chemo," says Alyssa.
The family spent 16 days in the NICU so doctors could run numerous tests. Now, a month after being born, baby Addi is five pounds, healthy, and happy.
"It was nerve-racking. I was lucky enough to be in the C-section room with Alyssa and Zach, and emotions took over the moment they pulled her out and she screamed. Gosh, she shot out, Alyssa is a fighter, and that baby screamed coming out. She's a fighter also," says Amanda Kincade, Alyssa's mom.
From their community in Clovis to the greater Central Valley, this journey transformed strangers into family.
"When you go through something like this, and everybody steps up, rallies and treats you as one of their own, it's hard to describe, but it was a big deal for all of us," says Adam Kincade, Alyssa's dad.
This birth, the first step in Alyssa's recovery, is now focused on becoming cancer-free.
With her baby in her arms, the new mom looks towards a bright future with her growing family.
"It's very unique what Addie and I have gone through together, but I think in the end, everything happens for a reason. We're just happy that she's here and she's healthy," says Alyssa.
Baby Addi will still undergo tests for the next several months as doctors monitor her health.
Alyssa is continuing her chemotherapy.
The family has set up a GoFundMe as they continue this journey. You can find a link here.
