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.

I can't believe you just said that. You are either joking or stupid. I don't know of one doctor who would rather see you die than use a treatment that has proved to work millions of times. Yes, not everyone is cured or go into remission but millions and millions do especially if it is caught early before your immune system is too weak to fight.
And those doctors (nurses, etc.) are some of the most hard working, positive and smart people I have ever known. They spend from daylight to dark every single day trying to find something that will work for the individual since everyone is different. And the patients know it because I was one!
BTTT
God Bless you, Cara.
You are either a doctor, a plant for big pharma or an idiot.
Perhaps all three.
Cancer is probably the largest cash cow many conventional hospitals and yes, doctors have to the tune of over 250 Billion dollars per year.
You are foiled by your own words.
How is doctors ‘giving up’ going to make them money? If they really were withholding a cure then they don’t make any money by giving up and letting someone die.
RIP.
HER DOCTOR KILLED HER?????
What a kook.........
It didn’t say if she did any treatment while pregnant. Prayers for the family. She did the right thing because clearly a few weeks would not have saved her life. If she had not done any agressive treatment while pregnant, then this is an extremely fast growing cancer and would have killed her anyway. Poor little baby withOut the mommy she knew from the womb. But she will have lots of love around her.

God bless this saintly mother and her baby.
Take time to view this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBUGVkmmwbk .
If We had seen this in early 2007, our 3 year old granddaughter could have become a teenager next year.
Ignorance is bliss, and may you sleep well tonight....
The Burzynski Clinic is a medical clinic in Texas, United States founded in 1976 and offering unproven cancer treatment. It is best known for the controversial “antineoplaston therapy”, a chemotherapy using compounds it calls antineoplastons, devised by the clinic’s founder Stanislaw Burzynski in the 1970s.
The clinic has been the focus of criticism primarily due to the way its antineoplaston therapy is promoted, the costs for cancer patients participating in “trials” of antineoplastons, problems with the way these trials are run, and legal cases brought as a result of the sale of the therapy without state board approval. Additionally, there is no accepted scientific evidence of clinical efficacy of antineoplaston combinations for various diseases.
In November 2015, the Texas Medical Board took Burzynski to court in Houston, Texas. Burzynski is accused of bait-and-switch tactics, improperly charging patients, not informing patients that he owns the pharmacy they are required to use to fill their medications, and of prescribing drugs “off-label”. Burzynski’s former attorney Richard Jaffe has filed suit in Federal Court claiming unpaid legal fees of over $250,000.
In January 2012, Lola Quinlan, an elderly, stage IV cancer patient, sued Burzynski for using false and misleading tactics to “swindle her out of $100,000”. She also sued his companies, The Burzynski Clinic, the Burzynski Research Institute and Southern Family Pharmacy, in Harris County Court. She sued for negligence, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, deceptive trade and conspiracy.[54]
In November 2013, an investigative report in USA Today by Liz Szabo accused Burzynski of selling “false hope to families” for years.[79] In an interview with Reporting on Health, Szabo said that her interest in reporting on Burzynski was sparked when she emailed him with questions asking for a response to a book critical of him, and received a legal warning letter from his attorneys in reply.[80]
In August 2015 Burzynski was listed by the Houston Press as number 8 on a list of The 10 Most Embarrassing Houstonians accusing him of being “Truly an embarrassment to such a medical city where some of the best cancer medicine in the world is performed.
None of the three, I’m a survivor of cancer because of chemo & “disfiguring surgery” that saved my life.

May God bless this mother. She was a true hero.
Thank you for the updated information.
It proves only one thing: The government at several levels is still out to stop him, aided by a few disgruntled patients who were not successfully treated in his clinic.
Only two things have any meaning here, and:
1) How many of his many thousands of patients have been successfully treated with Neoplastons compared to the successful treatments by conventional treatments of radiology and/or Chemotherapy?
2) In direct comparison, how many patients have been harmed by his treatments compared to conventional methods?
As far Dr. Burzynski’s high cost of treatments, how much received is paid out for legal defense? My guess would be at least 95% or more needed to defend himself, from those vs. governmental agencies that have unlimited funds (read taxpayer funds) to use against him.
Whether his treatments against cancer are truly effective is a moot question, for he is first following the physicians code to “First, do no harm.”
Your argument is just as flimsy as the cases brought against him for now over three decades.
Most doctors probably do not know about Essiac Tea or B17 or Cesium. And from the time of diagnosis to her death there is not a snowball's chance for even the best alternative cancer protocol to work. Of course some alternative treatments could be started before the baby's birth.
In my opinion a high pH therapy based on use of Cesium & DMSO, apricot kernals (B17) and with other things included, is the best alternative treatment. For myself, I would not concider Essiac Tea.
At least I am not promoting con artists. Conventional treatments have done fine for my father’s cancer. I sleep fine at night. I am sorry a fraudulent video made you feel so much anger.
Our pastor went to the VA hospital in Albuquerque, mid nov 2014, xrays showed a massive cancer stranglehold on his colon. His doctor said “You have a very small chance of survival with this operation, without you have no chance of living 24 hours.
12 days later he left the hospital, they wanted him to do Chemo, he said no. and sued Apricot kernels, apricots, his own saliva, and prayer.
On Jan 12 they did a PET scan, he was cancer free.
What did they have to loose by injecting with B-17?
The answer is simple, MONEY!
