OH MY GOSH... Doctor update

J+RJ+R
in Blended Families

Well I went to my oncologist for a check up today... I had a blood test last week (including pregnancy test) and I was told today that I am pregnant! My HcG is about 14,000 so they are guessing that I am about 5-8 weeks along.

 I prayed so long and hard to get pregnant and now that I have this miracle in my stomach, I cannot keep it.  I cannot start any treatments (the only treatments that work for my type of leukemia is one that is extremely toxic to unborn babies or a transplant) therefore I cannot do either while pregnant... If I keep the baby, the leukemia will turn into acute - therefore giving me the possibility of dying. I feel that it would be selfish to keep this baby and it possibly not have a mother to take care of it... 

 I am going tomorrow for an ultrasound and then to discuss what happens next with my doctor.  I need prayers... I prayed so hard for this miracle but unfortunately it came at the wrong time... :(  I am heartbroken over this.

    When my mother was 6 mos pregnant with me, she was told that she had a brain tumor and that neither of us would ever survive the pregnancy. She had the tumor removed when I was just under a year and went on to have 4 more babies.

     I pray for hope, wisdom and courage for you.

    I am so sorry to hear this. I hope your u/s goes well and that you can make the decisions (however difficult they may be) with an open heart and clear mind. Is it possible to have eggs harvested for future babies? Wishing you all the luck. Best wishes.
