It's been almost a year ago since I had my Radioactive Iodine Therapy.Exactly May 2009, I was isolated from everyone so I can recuperate, if not totally from my Papillary Thyroid Cancer. It was worse than my 2004 surgey, the fact of isolation and the possibility of not bearing a child was a great risk.
March 31, 2009; at exactly 5:40am after work, I learned that God gave me the best blessing a woman can ever have - a child. Oh yes, I'm 8 weeks pregnant! ^_^ It was at first a bittersweet feeling. The fact that I'll be leaving my family soon, i'll be giving up my three out-of-cebu vacations and course giving up my single life. A week after, myn and i went to see an OB-Gyne. So happy to know that I'm in good hands inspite of the risk factors I'm facing during my pregnancy. She then told me this line "It's a miracle baby, you're supposed to be baog!". I had goosebumps hearing those words and I simply can't stop smiling. Indeed, God blessed me...us. :) My doctor told me to wait and pray that I would be able hear a heartbeat during my TVS on April 20. There's 40% chance that the baby might not be alive. *sigh* I can't wait to hear my angel's heartbeat...
The most awaited day came, *yeah, that's why I'm on VL that day* I was trembling inside the ultrasound room and the assistant told me to relax. my feet were shaking. *sheesh* I was really scared. I just prayed to sto.nino to help me. Then, the moment came. I found in the monitor a cute little baby and wow, he's inside me!! I can't stop smiling. After a while, there was "thump-thump-thump-thump", his heartbeat. My reaction was "Weeeeee!!" I didn't know what else to say, It was so surreal.
*sigh* I made it. :) It's been a couple of weeks of hiding. Now, I'm free. You might want to ask if it's okay for me to get pregnant. Yes it is. I already went to my endocrinologist and she told me that I just have to balance my TSH level and that's it. *wink*
To all of my friends, especially my dear family who's always been supportive of me, THANK YOU SO MUCH. You make me stronger. *hugs*
To MYN, thank you for being there inspite of my mood swings and excessive food cravings! *blush* i love you!
To my baby, Hang in there alright? Mommy's here. We can do this. I love you!
