Julie Bradford, a 44 year old woman from Gwentshire, UK, recently gave birth to her grandson instead of her infertile daughter, the Mirror reported."It's really lucky to have a chance to get everything back on track," said Julie.The picture shows Julie, her daughter and grandson.
Julie's 21-year-old daughter Jessica was diagnosed with cancer for three years.At that time, Jessica was too young to be likely to suffer from cancer, so at first doctors thought that she had gynecological diseases.However, with further examination, the doctor found that she had cancer.The picture shows Jessica and her son.
Doctors spent two weeks to determine the extent of the spread of cancer cells and found that cancer cells were distributed in Jessica's lymph nodes."The doctor said that I would never have children." The picture shows three grandparents.
But the doctor suggested that Jessica could freeze the eggs for future needs.So, before receiving chemotherapy, doctors took out 21 eggs from her body, and only 10 survived. Then these eggs formed fertilized eggs, developed into embryos, and then were frozen.The picture shows three members of Julie's family.
In May this year, Jessica thawed an embryo and implanted it into her mother Julie's uterus.On December 2, Julie gave birth to her grandson Jack.When Jack was born, everything was normal and he weighed about 6 jin.The picture shows Jack and his grandparents.
"My mother is the bravest and best woman in the world. Thank her for bringing me a son. I love her. When I was very young, I looked forward to becoming a mother. Now this dream has come true," Jessica said.The picture shows Jessica holding Jack's B-scan.
At present, Jessica's body is recovering, and she should receive regular inspection and treatment to prevent cancer recurrence.In addition, she also strives to advocate women to do frequent examinations, hoping that young women can find health problems as soon as possible.
"The past three years have been very difficult. It's helpless to see my daughter suffer from the fear of cancer and the pain of not being able to have a child, but I can't do anything. I feel very lucky to replace Jessica and let our life return to normal. In recent years, we have been in the hospital for too long. I'm very happy to come to the hospital for such a good reason this time."Julie said.
