57-year-old’s ‘Easter Miracle:’ Suspected Cancer is…a Baby!
24 03 2008From the 'Keep Hope Alive' files, today we bring you a mind-boggling story out of the United Kingdom that should inspire older women wanting kids.
The Sunday Mirror reports that 57-year-old Susan Tollefsen is going through a "rollercoaster of emotions" after what was thought to be ovarian cancer turned out to be her first unborn baby!
Susan feared the worst when doctors sent her for a scan to determine the cause of a "hard abdominal mass" they'd found, that was growing. But instead of dire news, Susan got an "Easter Miracle" when she heard the radiologist say the following words: "Congratulations, you're almost 30 weeks' pregnant."
Susan, a teacher, had spent years trying for a baby with her husband Nick Mayer, 46, through IVF. They believed their third attempt last year ended when she miscarried, but Susan had been carrying twins, and one survived. She is now preparing for a C-section this week.
The Essex couple, who met 10 years ago, have named the girl Freya.
"From being told you might have cancer to being told you are pregnant, I think I exhausted every kind of emotion possible. Obviously we're very excited but I'm very, very nervous, I just want our baby to be well," says Susan, a teacher. "I'm keeping very well. We' ve not had much time to prepare. We're just taking everything slowly and getting ready for the big day."
She adds: "It is like a miracle."
Heartiest Congratulations to you and baby Freya, your little "Easter Miracle."
