The mother of five, who has a fatal brain tumor, postponed chemotherapy in order to carry her sixth child. However, she is now in a coma after a massive stroke that could lead to irreversible brain damage.
When American Carrie Declline, who is raising five children with her husband, began to suffer from frequent headaches this year, she initially attributed them to stress. In the end, the woman had to make a lot of efforts to maintain order in such a huge family. But after three weeks the pain became too severe and the 37-year-old woman went to the hospital, where she hoped to get a prescription for migraine medicine. Brain scans showed the presence of a terminal brain tumor - glioblastoma multiforme. The same cancer was recently discovered in the American Russophobic Senator John McCain.
At the same time, other doctors have confirmed that Carrie is expecting a sixth child, and if she wants to go through chemotherapy, she needs to have an abortion. Although the pregnancy was a surprise for the Declines, they decided to give up chemotherapy and keep the baby. However, last month, after surgery, during which the woman first removed a brain tumor, and then the fluid accumulated there, Carrie suffered a massive stroke. She is still unconscious, and doctors fear that the unfortunate woman may have received irreversible brain damage, so that she can never be the same. Now the family is raising money to pay for treatment and save Carrie and her baby. Relatives describe what happened to the woman as a cruel joke of fate. Too many misfortunes fell upon her at once.
Carrie's story is somewhat reminiscent of the case of Olympic gold medalist football player Lauren Holiday, who last year decided to postpone brain cancer treatment until giving birth. Lauren and her baby are now healthy, but Carrie's situation is worse, as her tumor is terminal and the results of the surgery are not very effective. The family hopes that Carrie can wake up, but the situation is getting worse every day. The husband is constantly next to his wife, he even got a job at McDonald's, located not far from the hospital, so as not to leave his beloved for a long time, since their house is located two and a half hours away. Children remain under the supervision of relatives.
