For some reason this really touched me

Emotions are great but intellect can be damn good too.

Having a baby so soon after recovering from cancer was not a good idea, and put herself and her current family at risk. Irresponsible decision. Many women wish to become pregnant under less than ideal conditions, often in desperation. Not good.

I can't believe the negative comments here and the criticism of her and her family! If you read the article properly, she had "previously beaten cancer after being diagnosed on her 30th birthday in 2006".

Many women have beaten breast cancer and gone on to live active lives for many years! It was tragic that only days after getting pregnant she was told the cancer had returned. I'm sure she and her husband talked about many things having had the awful scare of cancer once already, and I can't for the life of me imagine she was being selfish or ignorant in any way at all.

She was obviously a highly intelligent and lovely woman and it sounds like her family was a very close ad supportive one. To choose her baby over herself is something I believe many women would do as women are by their nature, sacrificing for their family. TO be faced with such a horrible decision to make is agonising even to contemplate and coupled with her determination to beat the cancer again, shows how incredible a spirit she had. Who knows, it was not certain she would die, even though the odds were stacked against her, and I believe her children will grow up knowing what a heroine she was and her newborn will grow up appreciating her gift forever.
