Pregnancy can be quite difficult, but being pregnant while fighting cancer is devastating. Canadian model Elizaveta Bulokhova faced this problem in 2014.
While vacationing with her husband in Amsterdam, she suffered from a severe toothache that turned out to be jaw cancer.
Elizaveta was pregnant when she got her cancer diagnosis. The doctors told her to have an abortion if she wants to receive chemotherapy.
Elizaveta wasn’t ready to give up on her child and looked for another option.
Luckily, she got the option to get a Cesarian section 10 weeks before her due date.
Baby Valentine was born 10 weeks earlier. After giving birth, Bulokhova had 95% of her jaw removed, underwent chemotherapy and is now in recovery.
“He was very active and I would talk to him often while he was in my womb. I had to tell him to stop moving because I couldn’t keep him and then all of a sudden he did. He listened; he stopped moving. I just told myself whatever the universe has in store for me, I will accept it. If my baby is meant to be born, he will be born,” explained Elizaveta.
