March 8, 2014 12pm - I was being wheeled down the hall for an emergency c-section, waiting for my children to be born.
What a difference a year makes!
March 7, 2014 - I had just gotten home when the phone rang and it was my OB on the other end. Not the nurse, not the receptionist, the doctor.
Shit.
"We got your lab work back. I was just discussing your case with my friend who is a Maternal Fetal Specialist in Chapel Hill......."
Case? I have a case?
"...and you need to pack a bag and go straight to the hospital. I'll meet you there."
Shiiiiiiit.
My very uneventful high risk twin pregnancy had suddenly become very serious. I had pre-eclampsia and the lab work was worse every time they ran it. The plan was one steroid shot that night, another steroid shot the next night, and delivery the third night. I secretly felt like, being on medical bedrest, my body would calm down and it would be several days if not weeks before the babies came. I at least wanted to wait until Monday when I would be 35 weeks pregnant.
The next morning, after more blood work, here came the doctor again.
"It's time. Anesthesia is on its way."
Wait, NO! But today is my cancerversary!! I don't want sweet, innocent babies to be associated with cancer!
The pre-eclampsia had become HELLP syndrome, and suddenly all three of our lives were at stake. Ready or not, here they came!
I was devastated that they were born early, and devastated I wasn't allowed to even see them until they were ten hours old, and devastated that I couldn't hold them until they were three and four days old. And devastated they were born on my cancerversary. Of all days, they had to be born on the first anniversary of my mastectomy.
But now that my preemies are thriving, and our rough start has been replaced with gummy smiles, deep belly laughs, and all the baby cuddling one could ever want - times two!! - I can appreciate my two cancerversary gifts.
After never having been able to get pregnant, I was suddenly pregnant less than five months after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The first OB appointment to confirm the pregnancy was exactly six months after my mastectomy.
Two months later we received the shock of our lives to find that not only were we pregnant, we were spontaneously pregnant with twins!
And then those surprise twins were born exactly a year after my mastectomy, on my cancerversary.
Okay, God, I got it. My life is not supposed to be about being afraid of cancer. And I have TWO babies to remind me of that! Thanks be to God.

I'm proud to say now that I am finally at a place where I have found something that works for me. Almost four years ago I began seeing a classical Homeopath. I was put on a constitutional remedy by Dr Itua herbal center who reside in west africa, and I am amazed at my healing thus far. I will continue to post what worked for me and what didn't in more blogs to come (as this one is getting quite long... and I'm not writing a book on here - not yet anyway). This discovery has not only helped the way I practice, but it has also given me further insight into the world of Herbal medicine. I came to know more about Dr Itua on Tv Station when I was taking my regular organic coffee at javamania coffee spot I watched the whole scene on how he uses Natural herbs to cure disease like Herpes, Hiv/Aids, Cancers,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, Neuroendocrine tumors,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,Alzheimer's disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson's disease, Als And Diabetes, I was moved by his words then I took a confident step to contact him regarding my health condition Herpes & Prostate Cancer, He prepared his herbal medicine then sent it to me through Courier which I took as it's was instructed and I found myself healing symptoms are all gone I have being watching my health for years now and I finally confirmed that is a permanent cure like he told me at our first conversations so now I'm healthy and happy I purchase his herbal tea which I usually take in the morning before starting my day because it feels good to find addiction on natural herbs than medical drugs so is what I'm doing and loving it more and More to come later on blogs sooner I will be writing my book.I will advise you to contact Doctor Itua Herbal Center for any kind of permanent cure and herbal remedy.Doctor Itua Email Contact: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Also On Whats-App Calls: +2348149277967.
