EDMONTON, AB, June 5, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) An expectant Canadian mother is asking for prayers and financial support after the cancer she beat nearly five years ago returned just after becoming pregnant with her first baby.
Chantal Gauthier-Vaillancourt, a popular midwife in Edmonton, was first diagnosed with malignant melanoma in her right eye in 2009. Ocular melanoma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that can be fatal if left untreated, as it often spreads to the liver and other organs.
Gauthier-Vaillancourt underwent radiation therapy and natural treatments to fight the cancer, and she was soon told by doctors that the cancer was in remission. However, they warned her to wait to become pregnant, as the biggest risk for a recurrence of cancer is within the first five years of remission. It is not considered safe to undergo radiation therapy during pregnancy due to the high risk of injury to the baby.
Gauthier-Vaillancourt followed her doctors orders and waited five years before trying for a baby with her husband. The couple were overjoyed when they learned they had conceived, but just eight weeks into the pregnancy, doctors delivered some devastating news: the cancer was back. Even worse, there was a 25 percent chance it would spread to the baby through the placenta.

I guess you have never called anyone and found out that they were in a state of spiritual hurt. Your loss.
