Via the UK Daily Mail: 33 year old Victoria Webster has “stunned doctors” (hmm…a lot of that going around these days) by giving birth to a healthy baby girl. Why so stunning? When she was pregnant she found out she had chronic myeloid leukaemia. Doctors pleaded with her to have a late term “termination” and start chemotherapy right away, but she refused:
Mrs Webster from Birmingham, said: ‘My doctor told me I needed to make a choice and decide whether I should keep my baby.
‘To me, there was no decision to make. I had already bonded with my baby while she was growing inside me and as her mum, I had to protect her.
‘Doctors kept telling me I should have a termination – but I had made up my mind, and my husband Martyn supported me.
‘It’s the best decision I have ever made. I can’t imagine my life without my daughter.
Since having Jessica last April, I’ve had a course of chemo and I’m beating leukaemia.’
