[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. Another year or two with his or her mother would have made all the difference for this child.[/quote]

I Had a family member who lost his motyer to aggressive cancer as a preschooler.

spending extra time with his mom while she was suffering with advanced stage cancer did not make all the difference for him. It was awful and he completely disconnected and separated from him mom long before she moved in to final stages and passed.

You are chasing an ideal if you think that a small child who cannot understand the diagnosis spending extra time with a parent dying from andvanced stage cancer makes a positive difference in that child's life.  It is horrific for the kids. Most likely her two year old would not have spent much more additional, positive time with mom whether or not mom stayed pregnant.

I am guessing that for you to think this you perhaps have not been through someone dying of aggressive cancer. Their lives do not end tye way that movies portray it.[/quote]
