I know a lot of you have been keeping up with news about me and my daughter, so I'm making this public for you guys. I found out two weeks ago that Natasha (my daughter) was thought to have cervical cancer. More tests were done and she came on down here today to visit and told me more about what she just found out yesterday. She has cervical cancer and it's considered a high level one, and she is a high risk for pregnancy as well. After she has her child some time in March (due date is March 25) she will have to have a hysterectomy. I guess she will be lucky to have this one. I think she will be alright and she seems to be in good spirits. We went up to Walmart's earlier so she could show me some baby items she's wanting. Before we left I bought her some strawberry New York cheesecake.  I know I'm not the only one that's shared something personal about someone we love on here and asked for prayers, but I would very much appreciate prayers sent my daughter's way. Like I stated earlier in my blog, I think she will be fine, but one never knows for sure.

She is absolutely, positively in my prayers, till she is fully recovered after the surgery. Grampa, I know you weren't thrilled with the idea of her being pregnant, but God does work in mysterious ways, and if she had to have the cancer, at least she is having the opportunity to have her own child prior. God Bless her and baby.

Thank all of you. I'm sure she will be fine. Just hoping that her pregnancy goes well. She was at first wanting a boy, and over the past few weeks she is now hoping for a little girl. I was kidding her that I was going to by that baby some Ohio State clothes, but her being a Michigan fan I may have to buy Michigan gear instead. lol

Please correct me if I am wrong, but weren't you very upset when you discovered that your daughter was preg? Clearly you have already crossed over into that "grandparent" land, where the sun rises and sets in the face of the beautiful grandchild.
I am just wondering if the cancer would have been discovered without the prenatal care you daughter has been receiveing?
I hope and pray all goes well.

Oh Shawn, I am definitely sending lots of prayers for her, the baby, you and anyone else this touches.
Make sure she gets plenty of rest and takes really good care of herself.
Make sure Grandpa takes care of himself too. You're gonna need all your strength when that new baby gets here.

thoughts, prayers, bending a knee to the Goddess and Consort in hopes that all goes well.
I kinda know what you are going thru about unexpected pregnancies, my 18 yo neice (41 yo brother's child) announced she's pregnant - I'm too young to be a great aunt (40 in November), I'm still getting in the groove of being an Aunt to my 3 yo hellion neice (my soon to be 38 yo little sister's kid). I had the wonderful opportunity to sit with my sister thru the labor (start the epidural and the stadol asap). I forgot she could cuss like a sailor (then again, she was a Navy girl).
Hugs and well wishes
M.

Only a few people know about this. She's told me, both her two aunts, and Willie knows. I think Willie's parents may know too. My mom knows, and I told Kim about this late this afternoon for the first time. Natasha still hasn't told her mom, and she really doesn't feel like letting her mom know since she's on the outs with her mom. I think Natasha should tell her.

hysterectomy -- the critical question will be if they can leave her ovaries in...
I had that procedure done early 30's.... upside... no more periods... whew.. no more cramping and stuff.
Sorry that it is happening to her so early in her life and that the choice of having more children has been taken away from her.
However she is going to have this baby....
Sending Positive Karma and thoughts of healing to you and all your family.

Oh Shawn I am so sorry to hear about Natasha, but like whispering said, perhaps if it were not for her pregnancy she would never know about the cancer. It would have perhaps went unnoticed for years. God truely does work in mysterious ways.......AND THANK GOD FOR THAT!!
Take care, xo

I reread my post and realized that it sounded very rude.
I have sent Strad a private apoligy, and want to say I'm sorry to anyone else that got the wrong impression of my post. Sometimes what sounds right in my head, doesnt have the same ring to it when it is written.

I saw nothing wrong with your comment. As both you and Zena stated in your comments, if it wasn't the fact that she was pregnant maybe they wouldn't have caught the cancer.
Thanks to you both for the comments.

a prayer just went up for your daughter. Just remember... everything happens for a reason. Maybe this is God's way of making sure that she appreciates this child, and realizes that she will never be able to have anymore. I know that when she first became pregnant you were very concerned about this.

Oh Shawn! You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers! You know I faced my own scare with cervical cancer this summer perhaps they can just remove the cells as they did my precancerous ones! Either way may God watch over and bless her and your grandchild and bring them both through this safely!

Shawn, your daughter has been added to my daily "thought list". Being the optimist that I am there are very strong feelings that the baby and she will come through this nicely.
Now, go get more of the Cheesecake for her. Mommy's have cravings !!
