Vicky's Story

I do not really have what I would call a hero. My inspiration comes from Jesus. In my adult life I have been very blessed. After school I married, moved to Wilmington, then to Mamiville. My husband was killed in a car accident with Steve Copeland. I went to work at a gravel pit running heavy equipment. I lived in Newtown right across the street from where I worked. After 12+ years, was hired by a fresh fruit and vegetable wholesaler. Went to school. I started auditing drivers to keep them compliant. Worked closely with the DOT to keep drivers legal. Now I work for a moving company. Doing somewhat the thing, but I now need to have a much broader understanding of state tariffs. I married Wayne in 1988. He knew the doctors had determined I could not have children. Finally a decision had to be made regarding the cervical cancer I had. It was spreading rather quickly. I finally reconciled with myself I just would never have children. Went to the hospital for at least a partial hysterectomy, possibly a complete. Through a series of questions the nurse was saying, the last one, could be pregnant? Really did set me off. They had done a test just ...Expand for more
4 weeks previous, I wasn't then..."Well", she said," If sex was not protected we need to do it again" My reply, not such a nice one, "Go ahead..do what you have to do and get this over with!!" When she returned, she had the Doctor with with her. They sent the waiting anesthesiologist away. Then told me I was pregnant. Immediately my husband and I were so excited. The doctor said do not be excited. This is NOT a good thing. They told me I only had a 2% chance of living through this. The cancer will accelerate. My husband and a friend Jeff were the only people who stood by my decision. I was so happy. It was odd. I was never scared, depressed, or angry. I was at complete peace. In the 1st week of my 3rd trimester, the oncologist, called to say.."you know that 2%? You are in it. Your cancer is gone. Surprised--to say the least. To know I was blessed - oh, most definitely. I've learned quite a bit from my children. I think the biggest is the true meaning of unconditional love and patience.. I am so happy. I have a husband that loves me, 2 kids we adore, a home and love the Lord with all my heart for bringing me to this place in my life.
