Cancer and Pregnancy

She was 44 when, undergoing self-examination, she discovered the cancer in her right breast. It was a triple-negative tumor. Faced with cancer, she underwent general mastectomy of the affected breast and immediately rebuilt it.

There were 6 chemotherapy sessions: 3 red and 3 white. The most difficult moment of the whole process, besides the white session that brings many undesirable reactions, was the moment when he was without hair.

"In addition to losing identity it is the moment when the disease manifests itself."

After all the treatment and the breast reconstruction, she went through an early menopause, but even so, she was recommended to use contraception so that she could not risk pregnancy. But by the end of 2016, on routine exams, she discovered that she was 8 weeks pregnant. It was a little desperate at first for her, apparently a pregnancy risk because of two factors: the history of cancer and her age.

The doctors made it clear that it would be a risky pregnancy and that the baby's chances of progressing were very small, but to everyone's surprise, the pregnancy was relatively normal. Of course he had more specific exams and special care that was already expected.

Ex paciente Nilda e sua filha

It was a girl who developed perfectly but was born premature for 34 weeks. Anna Julia came healthy, stayed 6 days in the CTI because she did not breast feed. It was not because Nilda did not have milk in her left breast (which was not affected by cancer), but because of a medical indication.

Until today, that baby that was a surprise, a scare and sometimes a fear in the heart at Nilda is a healthy child of 1 and a half and it is like a renewal of life for her and for the whole family.

Nilda believes that Anna is a way of God to show her that: THERE IS LIFE AFTER CANCER and that we are capable of, in addition to surviving, BACK to life.

"At first it will seem like the days are longer and the months last forever. In the process of illness we learn to allow ourselves to live one day at a time. You MUST LIVE and make the most of your life! "
