28 years ago I had my first Cancer, I was young a baby 24. I lost my first baby and a rare Cancer formed. When we found this Cancer I was 19.5 weeks pregnant. It was placenta cancer. Double blood supply, pregnant body. It put this Cancer through my body stage4. I can't tell you how hard it was to be so you and in the terminally ill ward at George V hospital in Camperdown. They gave me 8 weeks to live! I lost my baby girl and nearly my own life.
Today my first son is 27. I have tears in my eye writing this. Not only am I grateful to be alive. But 1990 saw the both of my first son.
Now I have to be honest. My first pregnancy was not good and very scarey. I worried every day about my baby. I went to the doctor every single pain. My head was quiet done in. I think that's pretty normal. My body seemed to heal beautifully after the chemo. Can't say my mind did though. But on this day, Father's Day my first son was born. What a gift.
Amongst the nerves and the fear the pregnancy went like clockwork. Yes the body heals. Chemo back then was a friggin nightmare. Not that it's any better on your body these days: I am grateful I Breast fed and he is a health young man. I am such a proud mum.
