First I (we) have GREAT news! I am currently 20 weeks pregnant w/ our second baby. We find out whether its a girl or boy 7/11/09! We're kind of hoping for a girl. I'll definitely update when I have time.
Now for the bad news... I found out 7/7/09 through a biopsy that I have a form of breast cancer. As of right now I'm not entirely sure what type, how bad, prognosis, etc. However, the wheels are turning so that I can go down to MD Anderson for assessment and treatment. The way is being paved by prayers from my family & friends. Thanks guys! When I have time, I'll update all this information as well!
Here's an article about pregnancy & breast cancer - just to give some extra information!
This is a blog about my journey through breast cancer treatment while pregnant and the subsequent effects on my life. It has been a journal more than anything: things I'd never say out loud. I try not to get too serious or depressing, but sometimes that is life. Mostly though, I try to show how God can effect positive in the midst of negative. Thank you for visiting!

My Chemo-Jane hair-style

I just had to have my mom buzz my hair because it was falling out so badly.
Pre-op wearing my hand-crocheted cap with my prayer shawl.

My loving husband is watching me distract myself with a game on his iPhone.

I even have a fashionable belt to hold up my drains.
3 weeks post-op w/ 400ccs in each TE

The smile is fake because the TEs were irritating!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was just introduced to your blog through another blogging friend!
Strangely enough, I was diagnosed on 7/7/08 with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I just wanted you to know that you WILL get through this and that there is a tremendous support network in the blogging world.
While my treatment is over (at least for now)I'd be glad and honored to
support you in any way that I can.
For starters, please know that you are in my prayers and I will follow your blog to keep updated.
Feel free to contact me anytime!
