Woman dies from cancer after refusing to take treatments while she was Pregnant

A mother named Deborah Vainini has tragically passed away from cancer after making the selfless decision not undergo treatment during her pregnancy to save her baby.  

Deborah, 38, learned she was pregnant on the same day she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Doctors informed her that the cancer had spread extensively and would require aggressive treatment. However, they also warned that the necessary medications would likely harm her unborn child.  

Determined to protect her baby, Deborah chose to delay treatment despite the risks to her own life. At 35 weeks, she gave birth prematurely in a hospital in Milan. Her daughter, who weighed 4 pounds 3 ounces at birth, was successfully delivered.

Describing the birth of her baby as a Miracle, Deborah posted on social media writing: “Welcome, little Meg. You may not know it yet, but you literally saved my life.

“We at least hoped to have a smooth delivery, but even here, life threw us a curveball.

“An unexpected premature birth, a pulmonary embolism, an emergency CT scan before delivery, the possibility that she might make it but not me.

“In short, it was like a film.”

During that time, Deborah was able to spend two precious months with her family and her newborn daughter.

Talking on how she felt when she found out she was pregnant, she said: “The day I found out I was pregnant, I also found out I had stage 4 cancer.

“A shock. I had a dream life until the day before. From the best news to the worst in 25 seconds flat. 

“From the greatest joy to the most absolute despair. From ecstasy to the pains of hell.”
