Just not had a whole lot to really talk about until today. A friend of mine on facebook is attempting to raise money for a surrogate to carry a baby for her. She has three frozen in a lab somewhere. She's currently in the stage IV of breast cancer, so carrying a baby herself is not possible at the momemt.
I feel for her, I really do. She's a good person and I feel for her. But I don't think she should be thinking of bringing a child into her family right now. She's battling cancer. The added stress could hurt her recovery to my thoughts.
Plus, the whole idea of trying to raise money to pay someone else to be an incubator is distasteful to me. I'm conflicted to be honest. I hope she gets better and is able to carry her own embryos.

Oh, wow. This sounds harsh, but she does realize there is no stage 5, right?
As an adoptee and a breast cancer survior, I feel this is a reeeeeeaaaallllly bad idea. Both for her health, and any future kid.
She will most likely not survive to see a kid graduate high school. NOT fair.
While I sympathize with her, this is just not a good idea.
I have no idea, I'm assuming she knows what her prognosis is . I had no idea she even HAD cancer until I read it on the group.
I mean, who in their right mind would do thiat, knowing they were unlikely t live to see the kid grow up? Maybe she's being overly optimistic?
Yeah, the prognosis for stage IV is bleak. Never mind seeing the kid grow up; she might not live to see it born.
I wish her the best.
Sorry this is really late but thank you Mongoose!
