My Health Update

I have had a chance to talk to my baby Dr. about my recent biopsy. He has asked me to get the biopsy results from my previous Dr. who diagnosed me and took care of me 18 months ago so we can all be on the same page. From what my baby Dr. can deduce, he believes the 2 cancers are unrelated. He also believes that since we caught both of them so early on in what he is calling Stage 0 or the pre-cancerous stages and they were removed at this stage that I am cancer free so to speak. However, my body keeps creating these cancerous cells and depositing them in different places of my body. This is cause for concern especially since the time frame has only been between the 2 cases 18 months and now I am pregnant and can take nothing, be treated for nothing and can not really be checked for additional cancer areas given I am pregnant. Much of this will be a waiting game until January after Sophia is born. They can do a full exam and if necessary any removal surgery for internal purposes after she is born. I don't believe that this was a coincidence by any means. We just need more data, more results and more time to figure it all out while monitoring Sophia to make sure she is healthy. I can fight and survive and wait until January for further action. In the mean time our focus is on Sophia to make sure that this is not effecting her in any way shape or form. A lot is still up in the air. Nothing is conclusive. Everything is speculation right now. There are still so many questions to be answered and unfortunately at this stage my Dr.'s just don't have any answers. It may be a long 3 months but as long as Sophia is safe and healthy and born without complications, the next 3 months of doing whatever we need to do will be worth it.
