Personal Life

[edit]

Aliisa Rosenthal resides in San Francisco, California, with her husband and their two children.[7]

During her second pregnancy, Rosenthal encountered a rare and severe health complication. She was diagnosed with a molar pregnancy, a condition where the placental tissue develops abnormally and can form a tumor. Despite experiencing extreme nausea, weight loss, and stabbing pains, her initial concerns were attributed to normal pregnancy symptoms. However, further investigation at 11 weeks confirmed the molar pregnancy through an ultrasound.[8][9]

Her hCG levels were significantly elevated, reaching 550,000, compared to the typical maximum of 90,000 for a healthy pregnancy. Following the removal of a five-pound tumor, Rosenthal was diagnosed with 17 tumors on her lungs, which required chemotherapy.[8][9] After completing four cycles of chemotherapy, she was declared cancer-free, though she continues to undergo regular monitoring.[8]

Rosenthal has since shared her experience to raise awareness about this rare condition and to support others who may face similar health challenges.[8][9]
