Hey everyone, I just came home from the hospital. I went in Monday night about 2a.m because I was having sharp pains in what I thought was my stomach. While their I found out I have ovarian cancer. I've had tumors on my ovaries before, but I never thought they'd end up to be cancerous. As I'm sure you all know the tumors need to be removed but I'm 28 weeks pregnant. I insisted that they wait until I have ShaNiyah, which they want to make me go into a premature labor; which is not healthy for the baby. My doctor said that I have to have a hisotrec. because they are continously growing back; which is not such a bad idea since this is my fourth child. I'm really scared and confused for the health of my baby as well as mine. I just need some encouraging words right now! I've been going through so much lately. With all of my previous pregnancies I didn't experience all these mood swings and cravings. I'm also going through a lot with my fiance's family and as well as mine. All of this stress and drama while expecting and trying to plan a wedding. I need all of your prayers. Right now, I'm on bed rest, which means I wasn't able to take my exams which results in me failing my college courses this semester.

Modern medicine is amazing and they will take great care of you. I'm sure it will be trying for a bit but you'll be stronger and more

everything happens for a reason..that's what i like to believe. you may not know why it's happening right now but there is a reason honest.

i'm sure you will be fine in the end. please don't get stressed because that can't be health for you or your baby. my thoughts and prayers are with you. i'm sure god has a master plan for this baby and you and it can't be nothing but good. good luck and keep us posted on how your are doing.

goodness, if it is not one thing it is another... Well I will be praying for you that God takes care of what ever he has planned fro you and your unborn child!!!! Just trust in him and he will provide, sometimes not what we think what we want but what is best... Remember some of Gods greatest gifts or his unanswered prayars!!! Think about it, how many times have we prayed for something that we thought we really wanted and it did not happen ( like the cute guy our freshman year,"God just one date would make me that happiest person alive" then he turns out to be the latest drop out ot town loser..... Just remember he is working over time on you honeny our prayras are making sure of that!!!

Thank you all for the support. I really appreciate you all expressing your concern for me and my baby. I have been really weak lately, so weak that my fiance has been giving me baths. At times I'm in so much pain I'm afraid to move or get out of the bed. I have a great team of specialist who's researching different treamtents and medications to treat my condition during my pregnancy. They did say that I shouldn't wait until my expected due date and if I do plan to wait I have to sign all kind of forms stating that I have taken the matter into my own hands and that I'm aware of the risks of waiting to go into labor normally. I'm not saying that I must be 40 weeks to give birth, I was just trying to hold off as long as possible because it's a better chance for a healthy baby with a higher birth weight and less health risks. I'm almost 30 weeks, I wanted to wait until I was at least 35 weeks. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. Continue to keep me in your prayers and thoughts. I'll keep ya posted!

God Bless

Yes, modern medicine is a amazing but, the doctors said that certain methods of treatments aren't healthy for the baby. Right now I'm just getting a lot of rest and taking it easy.
