Should I try or give up!?!?!?

You could try a surrogate mother. If you die from cancer, what will your boys do for a mother?

It's a gamble that only you can make.... not us... If you do get pregnant they can't treat your cancer, and so much can happen in the progression of cancer in 9 months. Cancer is serious business, it can take your life even...the odds are slim, but if you do make it full term, how will your health be in the process? Your two other children, and your husband need you. Theres still other options available if you decide to go with the surgery. Again, only you can make this choice though, it's a risky gamble, but miracles do happen. Good luck and God bless...

Honestly, as much as you may want to try for another child, your Dr. is probably correct. It doesn't sound like you're actually going to beat the cancer unless you have a hysterectomy. Getting pregnant would just cause grief to you and your husband if you lost that baby, and if that can be avoided, then avoid it. Be grateful for your two sons; apparently that's all that was planned for you. Good luck.

Hey

if i were in your shoes i think i would really want 2 save my life for the sake of the boys i know it must be hard knowing u wont have any more kids but u have 2 sons whom im sure they love u very much and wouldnt want 2 loose there mum 2 cancer i wish u the best of luck xxxx

girl, noone can answer this but yourself... cervical cancer is nothing to play with [as you know].. what if it spreads to your uterus and gets really ba while you were pregnant and the dr forced you to choose between your life or the baby's?

I've heard of a procedure where they remove the cervix but not the uterus it is called a radical trachelectomy.

here is the website I found:

I saw this on a TLC surragacy special... the woman wanted the procedure but when they went in they found the cancer had spread so there still had to do a hystorecotomy but maybe you will be fine... ask your dr.. although maybe insurance won't cover it.. who knows

Do you really want to go through the pain of getting pregnant or having a miscarriage? Don't you think that you should be healthy and well so you can take care of the children you have now?

If you didn't have any kids I would say try again... but you already have 2 so take care of yourself so you can take care of them.

This is a very important question that only you and your husband can answer and one that has to be thought about thouroughlly!!...

If i personally was in your position guessing you really want another baby bad...I would go for it...Sometimes miracles happen and id personally take that chance...

Dont let anyone persuaid you otherwise is completley your choice...

Good Luck i genuinely hope everything goes well for you. Take care.

Gosh, that's a hard one. I think if I already had children-2 children, then I would get the surgery. I would want to make sure that I was around for them. That is important too. Although our need to have children can be really great, you need to try really hard to focus on what you do have in your life. Is it worth risking your life for?

This is a real personal decision for you to make, not for us yahoo's to make :). I would say pray seriously about this, and decide. You have two children and just enjoy life with them, and remember that whatever you decide God is in control, and He is your comforter.

you need to follow your heart and do what it tells you to do. just ask yourself this, "will i regret not having another baby in the future." if so, you should try more. just don't do something you may regret in the long run.

good luck with your decision.

i would be grateful for the sons you have! i wouldn't want to risk it. it might put you at risk or the baby like your doctor said.
