Hi Courtney
I don't know you and I'm probably not really at liberty to offer personal advice to someone in such an awful predicament as yourself but I'd just like to say that I feel terrible for you. It doesn't seem fair that such an obviously good person should have so many trials in a lifetime but I will say that I really agree with what someone (forgive me for not remembering the name) posting that God may have wanted you to catch the cancer earlier through the pregnancy. He does indeed move in mysterious ways but I think you are absolutely and utterly making the correct decision both morally and medically in terminating the pregnancy. You have a right to put your life first. If you carried on, your husband may have the very real risk of losing a wonderful wife and your children a lovely mother. The babies you are carrying now will suffer either through being disabled or being born orphans. Under no circumstances should you ever sacrifice your right to life for that of an unborn child. There are no exceptions no matter what anyone may tell you. The most important thing is for you to get better for your family. In time, you will no doubt have another chance for another pregnancy.
I don't pray often but I will pray for you tonight and I wish you the very best in the long and tiring battle ahead of you. Please feel very free to pm me if there is anything I can do. I'm a long way away but I would have no hesitation in offering you any support I could. Take care and lots of love and hugs, Annie x |
