I've raised £500 to Raise awareness against molar pregnancy!

Miscarriage and Cancer. Two words that many of us can relate to whether it's personal or through someone we know. Molar pregnancy occurs roughly every 1 in 600 pregnancies, they are rare. They happen at the moment of conception where a foetus would usually form, a fault occurs during this time and instead, a mass of rapid growing cells form creating a 'mole'. This can cause either a complete molar pregnancy (no viable foetus present) or Partial pregnancy (foetus viable) . This is usually treated successfully with a simple procedure. However, in further rare cases cells can grow back and require further treatment. We found out at around 10 weeks in January 2020 when I started to have some complications and asked for an early scan, as soon as the smiley kind nurse brought the screen up we knew something was wrong. The next day I had an operation to remove a mass of cells from my womb. Agonising weeks we waited for lab results confirmed I'd had a complete molar pregnancy. My first routine blood tests went well levels seemed to drop and we thought we were on the mend about a month later my results showed a spike in pregnancy hormone levels indicating tissue growth, I had to then go for a further operation to have more tissue removed.To go from expecting a child to fighting cancer cells is terrifying, especially when you are labelled with a disease you have never heard about. I should have been going in to my 3rd trimester but yet I am in fortnightly tests bloods urine to make sure those cancer cells continue to drop, I think everyone thinks its dropping so you must be feeling more positive? Yes and no, yes because I want to be well and healthy no because I will never budge the feeling of what if? What would have this scan felt like? What sex would the baby have been? Who would they have looked liked? Every date I think this should have been this scan.The Charity I'm raising funds for is Charing Cross London molar pregnancy unit. I hope this help future families ❤
