Diggers Unite to Help Pregnant Woman with Cancer Find Other Survivors, Names Son Digger

So far thanks to diggers, social networkers, and ecademy members around the world I have been able to find 3 of the women who have been pregnant with cancer. There has been less than 100 documented cases of pregnant women with cancer since they started to keep track in 1991. I am trying to find as many as possible so that I can get more information before making decisions on chemo treatments. Thank you all for helping me by sharing this story. I am going to name my son Digger to honor all the social networkers who have helped me find answers when the doctors did not have any.

Getting my Appetite Back in a Big Way the next morning

Leaving MDAnderson to go home

---------------------------------------------------------------

July 9th

After getting diagnosed yesterday at MDAnderson, I decided I was not going to hide the fact. I am really scared for my life and for the life of my baby. At the same time, I can not help but to worry how people will look at me with only one breast. They are also going to have to remove a large portion of my back. The back skin and the back muscle will be used to cover the hole where my left breast and chest muscle will have used to have been.

The good news for everyone reading this is that I should be back from the hospital by Monday and able to work from my computer out of my bed. I am a strong willed woman and I plan to heal quickly. The other partners of the company met last night and decided to donate a portion of all the profits to breast cancer research. I cried when I saw that they had placed the pink ribbon on the logo today.

My twitter account, that was initially used for updating on Sta.rtUp.biz, is also going to be used for updates on my battle, which I will win. Please take a moment to sign up to follow me on Twitter and tell your friends about it. I would like to share my story every step of the way.

MDAdnerson has informed me that I will be the 6th pregnant woman in medical history to have a mastectomy. They also told me that there has been less than 100 documented cases of pregnant women with cancer since they started tracking in 1991. I hope that by getting my story out, that I will be able to connect with some of the other 98 or so women that have gone through what I am going through now. This is the only way that I will find answers because the doctors say they can give no answers with so few statistics.

So please share this post with everyone you know. Hopefully, the power of business networking can lead to me finding answers and spreading awareness at the same time. Little did I know that a few weeks ago while watching how Twitter was changing the way we see Iran, that I would be using it to find answers and support in the fight of my life.

My surgery is at 6am Friday morning. I should be able to give a twitter update in the evening or dictate it to a family member to tweet it for me. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read this and for forwarding this message on to all of your contacts.

If you know someone who had cancer while being pregnant, or personally went through this please send an email to me at ceo@sup.biz or post a reply here.

Comment by Rachel Falade 5 hours ago: Hi Natalie
I pray for you everyday since I read about it on this website. God that healed Joel Osteen mum, Bishop Francis in Uk's mum, will heal you totally. You will testify to the Mighty power of God. The word of God in Proverb 3.5 says trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding, acknowledge him and he will see you through.
God Bess

Comment by Juli Kern on August 27, 2009 at 7:39pm: HI - I found your story and wanted to get in touch with you so I signed up so I could comment. In 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was five months pregnant with my daughter. I was only 34 years old and had a 2 year old boy at home during all this. I had three rounds of chemotheraphy while pregnant, during my fifth, sixth and seventh month. In September 2007, I had a perfectly healthy baby girl who was not affected by the A/C chemo at all. Today I have a very healthy, smart, strong willed 1 year old daughter named Kayli. I am in remission and this November is my 1 year anniversary being cancer clear!
Kayli and I are part of the pregnantwithcancer.org network and will be tested annually to help provide background history for future mothers who find themselves in this situation. I'd love to share my story to help others. I invited you to be my friend, I'll be in touch with photos and am available for any questions you may have. I hope you're doing wel!

Comment by Donna McAlister on July 22, 2009 at 10:38am: In the name of JESUS, I declare healing for Natalie from the disease of cancer. I also declare that she and Digger are healthy and strong and safe during this time of healing, pregnancy, and delivery. Devil you are hear by put on notice that you have no authority over Natalie, her son or her family. Father God we thank you for keeping your watchful eye on this family. In the name of Jesus, AMEN

Natalie, I wish you all the best. I posted this decree here to give you encouragement during your fight. I have just begun to follow you on twitter. So I look forward to the updates and assisting you along the way on your quest to find information.

Comment by Isaac Clay on July 17, 2009 at 10:30pm: Hi Natalie,

Cancer is an easy symptom to alleviate. I've seen so many people turn it around - here's a link to some audios that will get you started. Just scroll down a couple sections to "Reversing Cancer the Easy Way". Also my wife is currently pregnant and she has written an article on our website called "Nutrition for Your Blissful Pregnancy".

Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Enjoy your evening!
~ Isaac

Comment by Eddie Power on July 17, 2009 at 8:41pm: Hi Natalie. As a cancer survivor, I would like to say that I know what you are going through. Yours is quite different from what my experience has been and I sure am wishing you all the best in your quest for optimal health. Mine was prostate in 2005. Your possitive attitude will carry you a long way in your journey. I can't offer any miracle cures but I will direct you to do a Google on Sanoviv Medical Retreat. May offer some answers to your questions and concerns. I am following on Twitter and will promote your Tweet to friends and family. All the best.
