“My decision was perhaps hardest for my mum and dad-I was their little girl and they were so afraid of losing me. I would have given up my life for my baby and I know they would have done just the same for me.”
Luckily, Trish sailed through her pregnancy with no complications.“I had more energy and vitality than I had had in years. If doctors could have prescribed a perfect medicine for my cancer, pregnancy would have been it. It was a 10-hour labour but I didn't take any gas or painkillers-I'd rather give birth to 10 babies in a row than go through one session of chemotherapy.”And On May 8，1998，Caitlin was born safe and well and Trish was still in partial remission. Five months later, though, Trish discovered another lump on her neck-he lymphoma was back.
