cervical cancer? ???

[katt_24]

I have had hpv for years an I just got told that I might have cancer I am 10 weeks 1 day saw my baby on sonogram today healthy baby dr says if I do have cancer that depending on how bad I might have to choose between my life an my babies I have two beautiful daughter's already 8 an 3 but I want to keep this baby that's what I plan to do no matter the results Are my question is what would you do if you were in my position?

I had HPV right after my son was born. I had the leep procedure and they were able to get it all but it makes me high risk this pregnancy. I was told it would never fully leave my system and that it would probably continue to show on PAPs. It has but off and on. When it does my doctor waits a few months and does another PAP, if it still shows he orders a biopsy. I asked him about it when I got pregnant and he is not worried about it, only that my cervix is thinner from the procedure. I would definitely get a second opinion. I should mention mine had turned into stage 1 cervical cancer by the time we had caught it and did the procedure. Everyone is different but definitely get a second opinion.

My Mom had that same ordeal with her last baby, number five. She decided that her child was must important so she waited until after my sister was born against the advice of the doctor. She now calls my baby sister her guardian angel because they wouldn't have known if she want conceived. She had surgery a week after having my sister and has only had one cancer scare, ovarian tumors,benign, in her fifties. God can see us through anything with faith.  There are risks every day that can take us from our kids but when we know the risks it can seen the scariest of all. Follow your heart, and if you are religious pray about it. You will find your answer, maybe even your own guardian angel.

I had a pap come back abnormal right before I found out I was pregnant with my youngest (he's 2 now) & the health dept gave me paperwork to give to my obgyn I looked at it & it said something about hpv (which I knew nothing about) when my dr looked at the paperwork she said she'd do a pap after I had my baby but bc I had medicaid I was suppose to go back to the health dept for my paps after he was born. Guess I was dumb bc I never went again. Now I'm 11 wks & using same dr. She did a pap at my appt at 8 wks & they sent a letter a few wks ago saying it was normal. I've read a little about hpv & I know it can show & then not show so I'm not sure what's going on. I plan on talking to her this Friday at my appt. Thx for posting bc I didn't know it could be so serious. Good luck to you & baby. Hopefully it won't come down to having to choose but if it were me I would hv to save myself since i hv a husband & 3 boys to live for but I would get other options from another dr too. Praying for you both.

I would get a second and third opinion... But if it came down to it- despite not believing in abortion- I would choose me. There are only 2 reasons where I find it justifiable- if the mother develops a life threatening illness/disease that she did not know about prior to pregnancy OR rape... I have 2 beautiful little girls and an amazing husband to live for and I can't find it practical to have another child to leave them all motherless

[katt_24]

I find out for sure in two weeks

[katt_24]

I have actually been in your position.  I was 6weeks pregnant with my second baby when I was told I had cervical cancer and the doctor told me if I kept my baby I would lose my life and possibly the babies. I had a daughter that was only 18months old and I was raising her by myself. I had also just broken things off with my fiance which was the father of the baby I was pregnant with. I left him due to finding out he was doing drugs. Well I was only 18 and choose to have an abortion and I regret it every single day since. This baby was planned and wanted but I could imagine leaving my 18 month old with no parents or even if the baby made it leaving both kids with no parents even though I know my mom and dad would have kept them. After the abortion they retested me and said that everything was fine even the hpv was gone. So we are not sure if they messed up the test or if there was something wrong with the baby. However if I could go back I would take my chances and would have kept my baby. Good luck u can private message me if u have any questions.

I agree with LoriBee. If I had to choose, I would make the decision of saving myself. It might be selfish but you have two beautiful children already. You don't want them to have to grow up without a mother. I know I wouldnt. That's just my opinion though. I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it weren't for my mother.

[1sttimemom7]

Pray. I'll pray as well

[LoriBee]

I had low grade change.  To be honest if I had to choose I would choose my own life.

You have other children to live for. I wouldn't potentially leave the son I have without a mother just to have another baby just to leave that one with out a mother as well.

To be honest that's the right choice for me. There is no easy answer.  I would be devestated. But saving my son from losing his mom would be more important to me than being pregnant at that moment.  Besides if it's cured you could try again.

I worked with a woman who had lymphatic cancer & was undergoing Chemo through both of her pregnancies. Although it was hard on her and the babies, she refused to give up on them and herself. Both her children (a boy,4 & a girl, 28months) were born prematurely via C-section and after short stints in the NICU are healthy and doing fine & so is Mom. She's been cancer free for over a year now!

Sorry but I forgot to mention I always come out positive when am p.g...and didnt have it after is that ur case as well?

[jamie2464]

I have hpv too...me personally I would choose the baby ..do u think they can remove the uterus later on after u give birth?? Cuz thats what I would do after having the baby if I was in ur shoes...

[Darci3]

I honestly don't know what I would do. I have 2 children now and I'm not sure I could leave them behind. But I don't think I could end my child's life either. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers that everything will work out for the best. Please keep us posted.

Did your pap come back abnormal? You could have positive cancer cells and if you do they'll go in and cut them out. It shouldn't be any harm to you or your baby. I would definitely ask more questions and talk to an oncologist about options if you do have to have more then a few spots cut out.
