Oh, shit... that is awful. Is that what her husband wanted, too? I wonder what other women in that situation have done, since surely she is not the only one that's happened to.
4 months along... god, I still think I would end up choosing my own health over the baby's life, but that basically means I would have to have an abortion... which would destroy me emotionally for a long time.
And who knows if she would still have lived, even with the abortion and subsequent treatments for cancer? The cancer might have gotten her in the end, anyway. Then the SO wouldn't have me or a child... what a tragedy.
Goddamn, that's a rough situation.
