Pregnant After Breast Cancer
After being on the extremely tough road of stage 4 breast cancer (felt lumps in my R breast at 15/16, officially diagnosed at age 22), I got the one miracle I thought would never be bestowed upon my life. A child was not in the cards for me. I was supposed have total hysterectomy, which I will do later on, because of my chances of having ovarian cancer. <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">Egg freezing</a>, post treatment <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> IUI, or any reproductive procedures were too expensive even for my insurance. My left fallopian tube is damaged. There was a 50/50 chance my ovaries wouldn't resume normal function post treatments. I always prayed and prayed for an interceding on my fertility. Lo and behold, I now carry the gift from the Almighty. To say I'm beyond excited for this blessing is more than an understatement.
I had to have a double mastectomy so there will be no breastfeeding for me. I'm very emotional about not being able to bond with my baby in that way. I know I can still bond without breastfeeding, I just always wanted to do that. I also know of the donated breast milk but with all these viruses and other sicknesses going around, I'm good. This is still a joyous time for me and my family.☺️💗👶🏽💙💚💛💜💕💞
