Baby Update
I am scheduled to have my baby a week from today unless I go earlier. I am not going to log onto here for the next week to sort of clear my mind. (unless I have a breakdown) My husband is begging me to not log on so much so I don't hear the scary stuff.
Anyway if you PM me I will get that-so PLEASE any good news PM me or someone in need or prayers:))) I know a couple of us have appts this week and you will be in my prayers. I actually have baby appt today to be checked to see if I have progressed at all. Also, I am on facebook if anyone is on there.
I will email an update though right before I go in and God willing maybe it will be before Monday. I have to admit I don't want to be induced-this baby has been through so much it's just one more drug but something in my gut is telling me this baby needs to come out. Every pergo with bc I have talked to was induced at 34 weeks so if I make it until Monday I have gone 37 weeks and am so thankful.
I am super scared of course that the baby comes out healthy but all studies at MD Anderson all babys followed had no problems so I am going on that study:)))
So right now I am dealing with extreme fear and anxiety about beating this disease and being here for my baby. I had a dream last night my husband cheated on me and the girl told me after I died she would raise my baby-that was reallllll pleasant. But I guess it represents my thinking and I want to calm my mind a bit before I have this baby so I am going to focus on my mental health this week:)
I hate this disease-I hate that I got it while preganant-I hate all it has taken from me from all of you-from the stage 4 girls but I am determined to find a way to come to peace and have hope.
Have a good week and I will let you know when I go into labor!!!!

BTW, you mentioned that you didn't want to read much, but when you come around to it, you may want to check this article that was published on the New York Times magazine a while back. It's about pregnant women with cancer and it can be found here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/31/magazine/31cancer-t.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=pregnant+with+cancer&st=nyt
(if the link doesn't work, you can search the NYT archives for it, the article is entitled "With Child, With Cancer" and it was published on the NYT magazine in August 2008)
