Story about Gestational trophoblastic disease .

22 when diagnosed.

Feb 1, 2016

Hello, my name is Kayla. I am 23 engaged and have a beautiful little girl. I had Ebony January 14 2013. In June of 2014 I had my first molar pregnancy. I was not pregnant. They removed the molar. I have been on birth control since my daughter was born. In October of 2014 I was in alot of pain bleeding baddly but also very bloated and throwing up blood. I went into the ER. That's when I found out I had a second molar pregnancy. During this removal something went wrong and they almost lost me. I lost 7 pints of blood. That's when I was told within those few months the cancer formed in my uterus and moved to both my lungs and my stomach. From them till January 2015 I was put on a chemo that started to work then stopped and my levels went back up this happens 3 times. The last set of chemo I was on was a 5 regimen chemo 3 days in patient and 2 days out. It was the strongest chemotherapy they had. During this chemo they shut down my overies. All of a sudden again my levels went back up so my specialist in London asked for an emergency appointment. Now October 2015 exactly a year after my diagnosis I was in London getting test done to know why my levels were going up again. Well..... I was some how 5 months pregnant with a little boy. Somehow with birth control chemo and my overies being shut down I got pregnant. I unfortunately was unable to keep my baby boy. His heart beat was perfect but the rest of his orgins never developed properly and his feet were the size of a quarter together. We named our son Grayson Maxwell. Since we lost him my levels have gone down fantastically. Now I go for monthly blood work till June. In June if my blood work is still undetectable I will be deemed in remission!
