Irony
Today morning, as I prepared a pt for an induced abortion, i've learned that the pt is in an early pregnancy with a newly diagnosed advanced breast cancer..
Her presentation started 2 years ago, when she found a small, mobile lump on her right breast while she was breastfeeding her 3rd baby. In fact, she has been breastfeeding since 10 years ago, non stop. She went to see a doctor but was told that the lump was normal, that it was her milk ducts.. Little that she knows that it was something bad and could change her future..
Now, the lump has grown bigger and become fixed to the overlying skin and made her skin darker. After all these changes that she went for another check up and was told that she has right breast cancer which has spread to the liver.. A few weeks after that she found out that she was pregnant, but the surgeons have decided that she will be needing chemo and an operation for her breast.
So, here I am, helping her for a medical termination of pregnancy, in order for her to go through the treament for cancer without putting risk on her pregnancy.
It is so irony that I felt that her breast has been serving her children for the past 10 years.. and now it is sick..
I hope everything goes well for this pt and may all of us will be under the mercy of Allah. Amin
