We had that when we said that I was pregnant. "Is it wise with your.... condition... er the cancer thing?". Well maybe, maybe not! It really annoyed me that people should put a downer on such a happy event. I know there is a risk it will come back but Martin is a cancer survivor and we will cross that step if it comes.
But we didn't think we could have a baby and then miraculously I got pregnant and now we have Alice Rose. And to be honest now that she is here, she takes the focus away from the cancer. She's a little miracle. We keep positive that it's gone. Our consultant genuinely seemed pleased for us and he said another year and he will be very pleased. He said 3 years cancer free is very good, 4 years excellent. And people now focus on Alice Rose and not the fact that Martin had cancer. That's good, but I know where you are coming from.
