How I Survive Cancer

Hello, I was diagnosed with carcinoid tumours when I was 17 weeks pregnant after having my appendix removed.
The tumours were also located in my bowel and 4 months after I delivered a healthy baby girl I had surgery to remove my large bowel.

Annual routine tests revealed that I had developed 2 carcinoid tumours in my liver. These tumours are inoperable, I have had radiation therapy and now I see a fantastic oncologist.

I am now in my late 30's and I am pregnant again and I have developed carcinoid symptoms.

Fight For Cure

With the help of my doctor and oncologist and the support of my family and friends my wonderful fiance Bosco and of course the Lord. caringwords = Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Caring Words

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
