BC, Surgery, Chemo & Baby

Hi All

This journey we are all on is not for the faint hearted. When I was diagnosed I was 26wks pregnant. It was Xmas. I had a masectomy within a week of diagnosis and then straight into AC chemo.

After 3 rounds I was induced at 36 weeks (so chemo didnt run into "delivery" time) .... and I thought I would just post some happiness here. Introducing Cooper Roy.... he makes me smile :)

Chemo restarts next week, one more AC round to go...then Taxol/Herceptin starts, but I have my little man to cheer me through it.

Amazingly he is perfect and apart from being early he seems completely unaffected by all that is going on.

    Congratulations Emma you have a beautiful baby boy & like you said if you can do chemo whilst pregnant it should be easier for you now.

    I wish you well with your future treatment.

    Sending hugs

    Congratulations to you & your family, Emma. Cooper looks a lovely little man. 

    Your post is a reminder that good things still happen in the midst of treatment. 

    Take care, Lyn

    Thanks Angie! Not looking forward to next AC but that will be AC done. If I can do it while pregnant then not been pregnant should make it easier :)
