Oscar was delivered prematurely in the 36th week of her pregnancy
tests carried out after the birth revealed that the disease had spread into both her lungs. They also showed the presence of a brain tumour.
It seems likely that there was little hope for her to survive in any case. The melanoma didn't spread to her lungs and brain just during the two months she continued carrying the baby.
God bless her for doing the right thing!
My thought. I’m not an oncologist, but it seems there wasn’t that much wasted time.
I can’t imagine how this poor woman lay awake nights, knowing there was a tumor in her body that would kill her, and she couldn’t do anything about it that wouldn’t harm her child.
