[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found out I had cancer while pregnant.  I opted for an aggressive surgery while still pregnant ("essentially cut the cancer out") and then as soon as my child was born, I did chemo.  It is an AWFUL position to be in.  Don't judge.

Here is to your continued good health.[/quote]

+1  I hope you stay healthy, PP.

And I have to think that this pregnancy probably wasn't your sixth child?  Part of the calculus with such a decision must involve thinking about the kids born already--I can't think how adding a micro-premie to a newly single parent household of five kids helped anyone. [b] This situation sounds like pro-life ideology stretched to an extreme, not thinking about all the lives involved.[/b][/quote]

Yes, this. The thought of the two-year-old breaks my heart. [b]Another year or two with his or her mother would have made all the difference for this child.[/b][/quote]

Not necessarily. The mother's quality of life may have been awful while going through treatment and that can also have an adverse effect on a child, even one as young as 2 or 3.  Not to mention how difficult it would be for the older children to watch their mother live like that.[/quote]
