Unlove A Difficult Decision Has Been Made.....

It is with the saddest heart that I tell you all of mine and my family's decision as to what to do about my unborn twins and my recent discovery of breast cancer (2nd time).

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.

Love I strongly support your decision.

And applaud your courage to be able to decide. I know it must have been excrutiatingly difficult.

I hope that your treatment is flawless, and you AGAIN beat this horrible disease that afflicts so many women, and men, myself included.

ALL THE BEST TO YOU, Courtney!

Oh Courtney,
No matter which decision you had made there would have been what if's. Please do not waste your time and energy on them. Know that you have done what you have to do for your family and yourself. There is nothing selfish about choosing to do the best for your five children. May God bless you each day with the stregnth that you will need to fight this disease. I will remember you in my prayers every single day. Your YT family is here for you. I wish I lived closer to do more. Please know that you have touched my heart and I will be hoping that all goes well.

You have been backed into a corner and honey, you need to come out fighting. You can beat it. It must be terrible to be forced to face such a difficult decision. I think you know in your heart you have friends here who will support you every inch of the way. You have got a lot of people praying for you. You have my prayers too.
Gentle hugs to you from me and my group.
