[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Because the child was being nourished by the mother's blood supply while being filtered through the placenta. Since this type of cancer is not spread through blood, it would not have affected the baby.

This is a good example to show people that an unborn child is not just a growth in a woman, but a completely seperate person developing inside of a woman.

great point.

If only everyone would realize this and also know that only God does life.

We are all here on earth at His behest to build His kingdom.

I pray for this woman who certainly made the ultimate sacrifice for her child. I hope that she is watching him grow from her vantage point along heaven’s shores.

Blessings to her and to her family and especially to her son who will grow some little while before he comes to know and appreciate how much his mother loved him.
