Miracle Baby

About two weeks after we learned that we were pregnant, I found out that I had breast cancer. I had lost my only child in 2006 to an ATV accident, so we started trying immediately to have another child. It took us two years before we were successful. What a roller coaster ride we have been on!! I had a lumpectomy when I was 7 weeks pregnant, completed 4 rounds of chemo during the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. The baby came 6 weeks early but is doing wonderful now. I completed 4 more rounds of chemo after the birth then I did 6.5 weeks of radiation 5days per week. I have been taking Herceptin @ 3 weeks since July and will complete this in July of this year. I have kept a positive attitude because after losing a child, there was not anything that could be harder. I am doing great and so is the baby. God is good!!!!
