I answered my family - my daughter and husband. I wasn't too surprised when he said his was his health as he's a doctor. "Mine is health because without my health, I couldn't take care of a family or exist for it," he said. I said that no matter the state of MY health, I would still wish my loved ones good fortune. </p> <p>A daughter of a cancer survivor, actress Christina Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer. <a href="http://www.starmagazine.com/news/14464?" target="_blank">A rumored report said</a> that the 36–year–old wants a family so badly that she's willing to put off chemotherapy treatment in an effort to have a baby. I am sure there are medical advantages, if not certainties, to having a child before undergoing cancer treatments; But, I can't imagine having cancer and not wanting to rid my body of it.</p> <p>Even though my dad and I disagree on our priorities, I think being a healthy and active mother to a newborn is important. If you were 36 and diagnosed with cancer, would you choose to go though therapy or pregnancy first?<br /> <a href="http://www.wireimage.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.lilsugar.com/1868128#comment Baby Bump Pregnancy Breast Cancer Health christina applegate Fri, 15 Aug 2008 07:00:12 -0700 babysugar http://www.lilsugar.com/1868128
