Pregnant with Breast Cancer

This is my story... my name is Justine Scafidi I’m 32 years old and back in October I was making friends online a lot and dating online etc. I was part of a date rape situation I didn’t know the people at the party and when I woke up I didn’t feel right I got plan B and std tested and just tried to move on with my life. Which I did I ended up meeting Justin and fell in love with him and his daughter. February 13th paranoid from my body changes and eating habits thinking I just needed to go to the gym I decided to get a pregnancy test first and ended up being pregnant. 2/15 doctors told me I am 9/10 weeks pregnant I was scared but excited Justin didn’t take the news so well but neither did I. March 1st my world was turned upside down my ultrasound appointment they told me I’m having a boy and that I’m 19weeks pregnant. I couldn’t even enjoy that joyous experience because now I don’t know if this baby is Justin’s or from when I was date raped. I thought that was the worst day of my life but it gets worse. March 8th I go in to meet with an oncologist because I felt a lump on my breast and had an ultrasound, mammogram and a biopsy and that was the day I was told I had breast cancer. Filled with pain, sadness anxiety everything you can think of I pulled myself together and continued to live life. March 21st my doctor calls to tell me I now also have two spots on my liver and have to get another biopsy. As of now I’m about 26 weeks pregnant waiting for another ultrasound with my baby boy Joshua James sadly he will either not have a father at all or be Justin’s but either way this has broken my home. I had a liver biopsy April 1st and it has now spread to my liver. So I am stage 4 ductal metastatic breast cancer her2+, estrogen+ and progesterone +. I have temporarily stopped working and I start chemotherapy April 22nd 2019. This is my story I am not perfect I have lived a good life, I made good choices but I have made mistakes. I appreciate all of the love and support. Baby boy is due as early as July 23rd 2019 for now maybe my next ultrasound will change and make it later. I will keep everyone updated. I have stopped working as of April 18th in order to focus on not only my own health but Joshua’s. 

Thank you for all the love and support it has helped me on this cancer/pregnancy rollercoaster but the fight has just begun.
