Just be glad you're healthy

These past few weeks, the lives of my friends and family members have started to crumble. It seems health problems abound at this time between my best childhood friend, future out-laws, and overall stress boiling up in us all. My sisters wedding is quickly approaching and people are becoming critical monsters. Everyone's on edge not to upset the elders in the clan and some are to the point of breaking. The most upsetting event for me, however, involved my best bud. She had recently declared her pregnancy and possible marriage to her baby's daddy. I am to serve as the child god mother and witness for the justice of the peace. If this news wasnt daunting enough to adjust to, i just heard that she has some health complications. Possibly some major ones. They found abnormal cells indicating possible pre-cancerous or cancers cells. They think she has HPV and possibly cervical cancer. As far as cancers go, i know this isnt a real nasty one. Survival rates are near 2/3 rds even if left untreated. So that didnt scare me too much. If she does have cancerous cells though, they would recommend an abortion. She has expressed time and time again that a termination is not an option for her. As much as this wasnt planned for, she would not give up this baby. On the other hand, if this illness progresses quickly and she waits until after birth to begin treatment it could kill her. What would you choose, your baby's life or your own?

I can't lose her. I dont know if i could live through another loved one stolen by cancer.
