In this episode of The Other C Word, I share the hardest choice I’ve ever had to make—terminating my pregnancy to save my own life. At three months pregnant, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, but because I was in Texas, I wasn’t allowed to have the procedure. I had to fly to San Francisco while my cancer spread, and by the time I got there, my spine had fractured in three places. A year later, when I thought I had already lost everything, my doctors told me my hormone levels were rising again—and that we had to remove my ovaries, officially ending my chance of biological motherhood.
