Cara Combs found out she had cancer while she was 23 weeks pregnant.
Her doctors advised her to have the baby immediately, but Combs, 38, wanted to wait to give the child a chance to survive. The decision meant postponing cancer treatment.
"I can't begin treatment while pregnant so I have some tough decisions to make. Against the advice of my oncologist, I am choosing to delay my treatment for three weeks in order to get the baby to 28 weeks," she wrote in a Facebook status update from Nov. 13. "There is no good decision here. We will both be fighting for our lives and I feel incredibly guiltily about that."
Combs explained her dermatologist hadn't found anything concerning when she saw her last year. Her oncologist couldn't find the source of the cancer, she wrote.
"At 38 you don't expect to find out that you are dying. It definitely puts things into perspective," she wrote in the post.
Combs went into labor on Dec. 5, the day after family photographs were taken, according to Emily Lucarz, who shot the pictures.

A hero. What a tragedy, but what an example.
Three weeks? Man, that was some aggressive cancer.
God Bless Her. (I’ll be He already has!)
Very true.
However, I think she made the best possible decision. She gave her baby a chance.
God love her
I’m awed
What a courageous and love-filled lady.
May she find everlasting life, happiness and peace in the loving arms of the Lord.
My prayers for her sainthood.
Heartbreaking & melenoma was the cancer that spread to liver.
So sad..
Meanwhile, hundreds of babies are murdered every day by abortion.
This woman deserves sainthood!
“There is no good decision here.”
Yes, there is - the only one: LIFE.
There is not treatment existent that would have saved her. She made the only decision any reasonable person would make.
STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN!!!! God Bless her!!!
Her voice is joined before the thrown of God with the Heavenly host. Her baby was more important than he own life.
No greater love....
This was the ultimate Pro Choice decision that wouldn’t be remotely suggested by Planned Parenthood. God bless her and my sincere condolences to her family.
Amen!!!
Pray for her, and her family. A very brave woman.
Her doctors killed her, they know darn well that Essiac Tea and B17 would have worked, but if they can’t make a fortune using chemotherapy, radiation or disfiguring surgery they would rather you die.
WE should ask her to pray for us, instead.
Another angel in heaven.
