Lance Armstrong’s Girlfriend Anna Hansen Expecting! (Photos)

Lance Armstrong, who is a survivor of testicular cancer, and his girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting a baby due in June.

Lance Armstrong was diagnosed in 1996 with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain, lungs and abdomen. Armstrong underwent treatment for the disease and was able to return to cycling, eventually winning seven consecutive Tour de France races.

Chemotherapy left him unable to have children, although he and then-wife Kristin Richards had three children using sperm that he had donated before the treatment. Armstrong and Hansen, however, are expecting without the use of any artificial fertilization process.

“This is a hopeful thing for testicular cancer survivors,” CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said. “It means his body healed from the chemotherapy and surgery.”

Armstrong announced in September that he was launching a comeback with the goal of winning the Tour de France in 2009.

“After talking with my children, my family and my closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden,” he wrote on LiveStrong’s Web site.

Congrats to Lance Armstrong and Anna Hansen!
