Although I fought and fought with my husband for the lives of our twins we have decided to terminate my pregnancy so I can go through chemo now rather than wait until I come to term with the pregnancy and risking the future of my children.

We were able to meet with a specialist this morning as they made themselves available to us on the weekend which I was so very thankful for. We spent 4 hours with our doctor going over each option, pros and cons, and the risk of each.

I would like to say however that I do not wish for this thread to become a debate over my decision to terminate my pregnancy. I know there are many of you here that have very strong beliefs, as do I, but we really do feel this is the best thing for my husband and I and our 5-children.

I will always wonder " what if I made a different decision" but I will have to live with my choice and do the very best that I can to beat this damn disease AGAIN!!!! My children and husband need me and I have come to accept that.

Once again, I would like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and messages. It was so very overwhelming to receive well over 80 messages in my PM box from people that I have come to realize are more than just screen names, you are apart of my family. You have no idea how you all have touched my life in a very special way and I have no idea how I will ever repay any of you.

Thank you for being here for me in the coming months as I am sure I will need to vent and will probably look to many of you for advice.

Please pray, not only for me but for my family that I beat this disease with the strength and power that God has given me.

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 !

Patti · 04-09-2006, 08:22 AM

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.

ilovemyabbie · 04-09-2006, 09:08 AM

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.

RowdysMom · 04-09-2006, 05:00 PM

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!
