I know everyone is different and I know all situations are different but this is exactly why I don't want to be induced:

Like I said I know everyone is DIFFERENT and I know the particular drug she was induced with is not a common used drug but it still scares the heck out of me. I am the type of person that sleeps HOURS to get rid of a migraine because I would rather take nothing. I just am not a huge fan of drugs and I feel being induced at times is so unnecessary. Induction is prematurely forcing your body to do something that it clearly is not ready to do. I would rather just wait until my body decides its ready. Alex will come when he feels like it.
Just my thoughts!

About Me
- Simply Me...
- I am a 26 year old woman married to my best friend. I am also a new mom of a beautiful baby boy, Alexander Kelson, who I can not get enough of! 3 months after the birth of my son I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast or "Breast Cancer."
Breast Cancer Timeline:
- 09/2009 Discover a small lump in my breast. Disregard as me being anal and never look back.
- 10/2009 BFP!!!
- 03/2010 Realize the lump in my breast has now gotten pretty large
- 04/2010 Visit Doctor she sends me for an Ultrasound. Ultrasound reveals a "cystic mass." I am told I can get the mass aspirator after I give birth.
- 06/2010 Visit a Lactation Consultant to discuss concerns about the "cyst" interfering with Breast feeding she encourages me to go see a breast surgeon immediately. So I make an appointment for June 28, 2010.
- 06/28/2010 Oooops Miss my appt with the Breast Surgeon because...ALEX is born!!
- 09/27/2010 Finally go see Dr. Teal who decides to immediately do a biopsy of the mass. I can already sense the concern.
- 09/29/2010 DX with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in the Right Breast. Cancer is at a stage 2a. Have immediate Mammogram and Ultrasound done. Both reveal suspicious Lymph Node.
- 09/30/2010 Stop Breastfeeding in order to receive a radioactive injection for Breast Scans. Also have a Biopsy of suspicious Lymph Node done. Surgery set.
