I'm sorry to read your story, caro. You are right; sometimes you can give everything but once "it" takes over, there's not much hope. We just pray it's found early and is treatable. It's affecting too many people I know. My poor dad didn't even have a chance to fight, it consumed him. Hence why my health anxiety is through the roof!! I've never been so scared of my own body.
On a nicer note, I'm 9 weeks tomorrow! Heard babies heartbeat with the Doppler, and can only find one. I REALLY want one. Not two lol!! Scan is the 20th December. Feeling optimistic and not worrying. It's out of my control, anyhow.
