Fighting for Our Lives: My Battle With Cancer to Save My Baby and Myself

Synopsis

At age twenty-nine, Heather Choate was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was also ten weeks pregnant with her sixth child. Her unborn baby was threatened by the fast-spreading cancer that already spread to her lymph nodes. Doctors told her she needed to abort her baby to save her own life. Heather responded: “I’d rather die than take the life of my baby.” Together with her husband, Heather was determined to save her baby—and be there to raise it. The journey pushed them to the edge of their stamina, tested the strength of their relationships, and taught them that sometimes faith can be a literal lifeline. Many of us might crumble under such circumstances, but Heather found strength in the knowledge that life isn’t merely about what happens to you; it’s about what you do when it happens. Fighting for Our Lives will take you on a journey of self-examination and of making the choice to find joy in the present. It’s a book that could actually change your life. What you’ll learn in Fighting for Our Lives: Don’t just survive challenges, thrive through them; How to use your power of choice, because it’s not what happens to you that matters, it’s what you do about it; Practical ways that faith sustains and strengthens us; How to deal with doubt and insecurity; The best ways to release negativity and find forgiveness; How to trust your inner voice.
