Hi my name is kirsty and at the age of 27 and 31weeks pregnant at the time with my second child I was given the horrible news I had breast cancer. Trying to stay postive I told myself I can fight this. The doctors didn't want me to have my daughter early and decided its best to carry on through out my pregnacy and then start chemo after the birth.
As a few days went on I was getting terrible back pain something I had throughout my whole pregnacy but now it was terrible. The doctors decided to send me for a bone MRI where they discovered my back had collasped due to bone cancer and needed to dilver baby straight away and have surgery to stop me from becoming paralaysed.
As you can imagine it was all just a huge nightmare that wwas happening. I went for my c-section the next day and then was taken in for my back surgery 2 days after. I have 6 screws and two metal rods supporting my spine but now can never do the things I loved again because at some point still a chance I can become paralaysed.
My daughter is coming up 37weeks now and hoping to have her home soon. My beautiful 2 year old son is very excited and loves going into her room shouting her name. If it wasn't for my kids I think I would be in a very dark place. Being told that now having bone cancer is uncurable is heart breaking. But im going to do my best to keep my spirts high each day and live my life to create as many happy memories for my family.
