Bless your heart...I've been praying for you since hearing your sad news. It is hard enough going through cancer treatment, but having to make a decision as you have, makes it even harder. Best wishes to you and your family!

you have my complete support!
 

What a hard decision to make! You are a courageous woman and you have my whole hearted support!!! Breast cancer is such an ugly thing. My mom and grandmother are both survivors and we will all be thinking of you and your family. :love: :love: :love:

You are such a brave woman and I admire how you have handled this terrible situation. I will pray for you and your family, and you will never be far from my thoughts.

I think the reason this has touched me so, is one of my very best friends has cancer and she is 35 with 5 boys ranging in age from 3 to 16. Her cancer is inoperable, so they are trying to control the growth with chemo and radiation.

I know everyone here from YT wishes you well and lots of love and hugs!

:luvu: :getwellso :hug: :hearts-en :hearts-xx

Again, thank you for all of your posts. Today is a hard day for me. My best friend had her baby last night and as a good friend should I went to the hospital and lost it. Just holding that sweet little girl in my arms looking up at me, just so beautiful and unknowing to what lies ahead in this world just broke my heart. Not to mention that I questioned my decision after hold her in my arms. Oh, how am I going to get through Monday?

Just remember that you are doing the right thing. How could all your children and husband get along without you?

Question: Would you have known that you had cancer again had it not been for you being pregnant and going to the doctor?

Courtney you are in my prayers and I wish you all the best. Try and stay strong. You will beat this thing.

Courtney,
I know it's hard, but go and give your kids a hug. And just remember you are doing the right thing for you and your 5 children. Your children LOVE you and want to have you around to see their babies someday. I am sending you a huge hug :hug: , and Willy send you lots of Yorkie kisses.

That must have been so hard. You are such a great friend. Everytime I hold a newborn baby it makes me want one. I know you love children so much. I am sorry you have to deal with this Have you tried going to your church and praying for an answer? Were you able to call some specialists?
I googled pregnancy + breast cancer and this is what it came up with. I think you had said that you were due in Sept. so I think you're about 18 weeks along. I hope this helps somehow. We are always thinking about you.

Twelve to Twenty-eight Weeks

During this interval the breast cancer can be adequately treated surgically without terminating pregnancy. Modified radical mastectomy is the treatment of choice. Adjuvant radiotherapy is contraindicated during pregnancy. The risk of recurrence should be estimated based on the pathology of the tumor. If the risk of relapse is high then adjuvant chemotherapy may be given.Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin with or without 5-fluorouracil is the preferred combination during pregnancy. Epirubicin and taxanes should be avoided. Tamoxifen exposure in the first and second trimesters may be associated with genitourinary abnormalities and therefore should be avoided. Referral of these patients for assessment is recommended.

I'm Home
 

Hello Family. I just wanted to let ya'll know I was home in case you were checking in on this thread and didn't see my post on Deb's thread from yesterday. My heart is heavy but at the same time I'm ready to start treatment and kick this cancer thing where it hurts. I tell you what, it is exhausting being happy and sad all the time. I can't keep up with my own emotions.

My house has been full of people that are helping and let me tell ya, my house is cleaner than it has ever been before :thumbup: .

Lil Miss Magic, your beautiful blanket has been keeping me warm and makes for something soft on my face to wipe away the tears. Thank you again for such a beautiful gift.

Well I am going to go back to my couch and watch Jerry Springer :D and maybe a little Young and the Restless.

Keep on posting, I'll be reading every chance I get. Oh, and btw, Morgan is getting so big. She is now 2 lbs. 4 oz. and she gets more and more spunky everyday. Bailey knows there is something wrong with mommy but he can't quite put his finger on it. He is spending his day wrapped up on my neck and making a great cuddle bear for his momma.

Be in touch soon.

Welcome home, Sweetie!
