Hi Bailey's MaMa Courtney,
I am new to Yorkietalk and just happened to come across your message. It touched me deeply and I will send my *prayers up above for you and all that love you.
I just wanted to tell you a little story about a friend of my daughter's named Lisa who recently lost her life. I hope that I'm not being inappropriate here forgive me if I am.
A little over 2 yrs. ago she was diagnosed with Cancer and it was recommended that she have a Hysterectomy. She refused because she wanted another child and opted for radiation therapy at this time, saying she would have the hysterectomy after one more baby. Lisa and her husband already had one little boy age 3, and one little girl that was just a year old. Lisa was a nurse and a very good one so everybody just thought she had made the right discission. She seemed fine and got pregnant and had a little boy a few months ago. All seemed to be well. But something happened , she told her husband while in her room at the hospital and the baby next to her that something was wrong. He called in the nurse and the Doctor and everything seemed to be fine. Lisa insisted to her husband that something was wrong. She said " Patrick I cant see I think I am dying " he tryed to console her but she just said " I'm a nurse Pat I know I'm dying " so Lisa passed away from a ruptured ovary and a blood clot that went to her brain, with her new born Baby in the room. She left behind her husband to care for a 4 yr. old, a 2 yr old and a new born. Without much family to help and Lisa being the main bread winner, Patrick a carpenter and we all know how seasonal their work can be. They are now trying to get together a benefit for the children. I'm telling you this story not to hurt you in any way but to tell you that I for one understand your discission to terminate your pregnancy, I know in my heart that if Lisa had it to do over she would want to be here with her little girl and boy and not to leave Patrick alone with a new born. When he saw my daughter all he could say holding his new baby was " Look What Lisa Left Me ". SO Hang on to what you already have for as long as you have and with Gods love and guidance you will see your 5 Children grow up, and their children, and you and your husband will grow old together. I know of one Angel in Heaven that would want it that way & she will be watching over you.
Well I guess my little story turned into quite a long one. TAKE CARE !

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family in this difficult time, god bless you Courtney!

What a strong woman you are,I commend your strength and we all support any decision you make. We are all behind you, praying and thinking of you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers, it must of been hard, but your Fam. needs you ! And your YT Fam. too !

My prayers are with you and your family. I believe that with God's guidance you made the best decision for you and your family. My friend has beaten brest cancer twice and
is doing very well. She first got it at 32, then again at 37 and is now 47. Just make sure you have the best doctors available, it can make a big difference.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO UNTIL THE LORD WANTS YOU TO EXPERIENCE IT. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS. I am so sorry that you had to go thru this. Your family is in my prayers. Keep us updated on your progress. Good Luck with Chemo.

You are so strong and doing what is best for your family. I salute you! My only advice is to try to put your body in the best possible position to let the chemo/radiation do its job. Try to remove as much stress as possible. Do the things that bring you joy, try to smile/laugh as much as possible. Laughter is healing, it is true! Find joy in everyday things. Think positive. Do the things that you need to do to boost your immune system (no stress) and not drag down the immune system (STRESS!). You immune system will be assaulted by the chemo/radiation -so try to do anything and everything to build it up and finding joy and laughter certainly will help!

<<<<< HUGS >>>>>

A decision such as this is never easily made. Just know that we are all here for you. You can count on us for a shoulder to cry on.

Keep the Faith..........
 

Courtney, My heart goes out to you and your family! My prayers and good thoughts will be with you every day. My God grant you strength and courage
to face each day. All of your YT family are here for you always.........

You are an awesome woman. God will watch over you and your family. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Gosh, I am so sorry to read all of this! I just wanted to say that I admire the grace with which you are handling yourself and this very difficult situation. I have seen other people freak out over such trivial things...here you find yourself in the most difficult of circumstances and you are handling it with such dignity. I'm sure you are scared, and your head is spinning with all the things you are dealing with, but I admire you for the way you are handling it all.

You have a lot of people here pulling for you.

sending you love & support
 

Courtney,
my heart cries with yours, but at the same time my spirit is sending you strength & courage. You & your family are in my daily thoughts & prayers.
Hugs
Terrilyn

Courtney, you know you have my utmost support. I am glad you and your husband met with the medical professions who can give you the best (though not necessarily the easiest) advice for your situtation. I hope you both find the strength necessary to support you through this difficult time and am glad you have each other. Your family remains in my thoughts and prayers. God bless and take care.

Consider it done. :hands: My heart goes out to your family for this difficult decision.

Everyone here says how strong you are,but I bet you feel over whelmed now,the choice you had to make is one that I pray you will feel ok about after you are healed of the cancer,and I am also pleased that you have only recieved positive opinions,its about time that we take into concederation your feeling and not voice others attitudes at this time in your life trials,my only prayer is for you to get well,enjoy your family,and not have any bad feelings for making the right choice,many people loose twins,as long as you have life and your loving family,getting rid of the cancer,then all is well,what more can you ask for :aimeeyork

I'm proud of you!!!
 

We haven't met, but that doesn't stop me from being proud of you to make such a difficult decision! You've got the courage to fight this disease that most wished they had. Keep your chin up! With all the latest technology to beat cancer, I like to think you'll be just fine and I then pray it doesn't come back for a third! (we won't go there) Be sure to healthy and prepare your body for this treatment! Get as much stress free days as humanely possible too! Take care, and keep that chin up. :getwellso
:love-hug3

I'm very sorry that you are even faced with such a difficult decision. You need to do what you can for yourself to fight this. Try not to think about what might have been and think about what you have now. your husband and your 5 children. I will pray for you and your family each day. You will need your strength, prayers, and positive thinking to help you out right now!
