When This Pregnant Woman Found Out She Had Cancer, She Was Suddenly Faced With A Huge Decision
Melissa, gormley and dave good are an ordinary couple. With an extraordinary story. The pair hadn’t even been dating a year when they were given some incredible news. They were to become parents with a new chapter in their lives about to unfold. It looked like melissa and dave had it all, but then they received some very different news and were faced with a decision that would change their lives forever.
Good and gormley were both working at world of beer in exton pennsylvania as they met at the training event. Neither was looking for a relationship, but their meeting in april 2016 was to be the start of something special. The pair decided to commit to one another, but the excitement did not stop.
There, 2017 promised to be the best year yet for the pair. When, shortly after the turn of the year, they learned that gormley was expecting speaking to daily local news, gormley expressed her surprise at the news saying we were both kind of like what the pair were set for an eventful year, to say the least. Everything was looking rosy when, in the 14th week of gormley’s pregnancy, the happy couple discovered that she was carrying a girl. However, that same night the couple had a scare gormley spotted some bleeding which led them to visiting the doctor. Their adventure had taken a worrying turn.
One that was exacerbated when gormley underwent a biopsy terrified about the safety of their unborn child. The couple awaited the result of the biopsy as time passed. Their worry, grew and grew speaking to daily local news. Good recalled that fraud period and the countless questions that came with it, what does it mean for our new life? He mused?
Did it mean it couldn’t happen anymore? Can we still have the baby is melissa going to be okay? Both of them began preparing for the worst. I kind of mentally prepared myself that i might not get the news i wanted gormley admitted and when the news came via voicemail from dr alina skinnis. Sadly, she was proven right, but it’s likely no amount of preparation could have made the results of the test any easier to the couple’s dismay.
Gormley had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The news hit gormley especially hard. I was in shock at that point. She recalled, even though she’d tried to prepare herself for every eventuality. She said that it was still very hard hearing that how to proceed.
The couple did not know they had big decisions to make. The cervical cancer could have had direct repercussions on the health of gormley’s, unborn child, so terminating the pregnancy was an option. However, due to the number of weeks that had passed, this wouldn’t be easy. Gormley was mid-term, which meant two things. The fetus was already pretty well developed, but the birth itself was too far away to delay the cancer treatment until after the delivery.
One thing was for sure, though gormley was determined to keep the baby ending. The pregnancy was not an option for me, gormley told daily local news. I knew that right from the beginning, even if they were like, we can’t do anything for you. I would have waited. I was really just concerned for her.
It was settled. Gormley would have to have treatment whilst pregnant, despite her incredible strength. Gormley did not pretend that it was an easy thing to go through, plagued by doubt and worry. The couple were constantly aware of the health of their unborn child. Speaking in may 2017.
Gormley recalled there are definitely times where i break down crying. It’S scary, thinking about all the what-ifs like what, if it doesn’t work, what, if something happens during delivery. All of those thoughts go through your head. Luckily, for the couple they had a supportive network of family and friends around them. Gormley’S mother, miriam adamo, told daily local news how she had absolute faith in her daughter, melissa is sweet and gentle, but she’s very much.
I can do this. She perseveres and pushes on, and i’m so proud of how she’s dealt with this. Having been a strong and resilient little girl, gormley was now handling the situation with maturity and strength. Good’S mother also voiced her own emotions. When she heard the devastating news, it was heartbreaking.
Sharon good said to go from such a high of knowing i was going to be a grandmother to hearing she has cancer. It broke my heart, whoever thought a pregnant woman could have chemo. But when i heard that i said, okay, we’re gon na fight this there’s nothing else to do as for good himself. Well, his ability to see the funny side of everything one of the things that attracted gormley to him in the first place, kept gormley’s chin up in the darkest of times. The couple even came up with a way to deal with the situation together whenever they felt down they’d, listen to their baby’s heartbeat.
The life-giving sound never failed to renew their hope. To everyone’s delight. Baby olivia was born healthy on july 24. 2017. She was delivered at 33 weeks via c-section immediately after the birth gormley entered treatment, which kept her apart from her newborn for a couple of days.
Typically good saw this in a funny light and shared his humorous take on events. She came out crying for her mommy. He posted on facebook, but had to settle for meeting daddy a few minutes later. Two days after the birth baby, olivia finally met her mother. At this point, the taunt was still connected to a cpap machine and a feeding tube, while gormley had just left surgery.
It would seem each gave the other strength, though something that good was keen to share on facebook. Just got done, facetiming with mommy and little liv. Both are doing great. He wrote, together with their miraculously healthy baby, gormley and good, set up home in phoenixville philadelphia, something they’d planned before the complications with gormley’s health having strengthened their bond through the most difficult of trials. The couple reflected on what lasting effects the event had on their relationship.
Gormley told daily local news that she and good had grown closer as a result of their shared experiences. This has shown both of us a different side of each other, that probably we wouldn’t have seen she said, dave’s, just so supportive and so great about helping me with whatever i need, if i’m upset he’s just there. Meanwhile good returned the compliment. She’S been so good through this and i’m so proud of her. He said i don’t think a lot of people would be able to handle this.
The way she has it’s almost like she comes secondary all the time and she’s, not thinking about herself. I’M just really proud and happy. I found somebody like that as to what the future holds. It’S unclear whether olivia will ever have a brother or sister because of the treatment gormley underwent after giving birth. Another pregnancy might be a step too far.
For now, then, olivia can happily reap the benefits of being an only child with doting parents had her backend call, meanwhile olivia’s mom and dad certainly seem to be enjoying their family unit good posts, regular updates on facebook, sharing the adventures of his loving partner and superhero Daughter having gone through the hardest part good is hopeful about the future, saying that should anything else befall the family, it’s gon na be a piece of cake, a piece of superhero cake.
