Breast Is Best: NOT ALWAYS
Wed, Aug 26 2009 by Brenda
After my surgery i was doing what i could, but here i was with one breast missing. I look like a monster and my husband will never love me again that is all i thought. I was very wrong here i am almost six years of marriage and almost half the years were lived with cancer.
I went to see the hematologist. He told me that i would need to get started with chemo right away. I did not agree because i was pregnant why would i put my baby through that. My doctor scheduled me for a pic line to put in my arm for chemo, and all i did again was prayed something would happen to where i would not have to take chemo.
Low and behold i fell down the stairs, and the catheter came out i had to go to the hospital to have it completley removed. I was happy my baby did not have to suffer. The baby was okay but my arm hurt like hell!!
My doctor told me some sad news later that week..." The baby has to come out because your cancer is so aggressive that you may not live" "With medicine and chemo you have nine years to live" NINE YEARS!!! The docs have been wrong time and time again why should i listen now? only the Lord can take me!!
All i ever did during this time was prayed that was the only thing that got me through all this mess.
