Miracle delivery: Dr Ellice Hammon with her baby girl Mia.
伟大的母亲：墨尔本女医生为新生女儿献出生命
9月14日消息 一位墨尔本医生为了拯救自己未出生的女儿，拒绝接受深度化疗，最终死于淋巴癌。
37岁的Ellice Hammond医生葬礼在昨天举行，她的家人及朋友参加了仪式。
上周日，Hammond医生死于霍奇金淋巴瘤，此时离她的女儿Mia Ellice出生仅3周时间。Mia Ellice早产了9周，目前仍在Monash医疗中心处于深度看护状态。
Hammond在怀孕22周的时候被查出患有淋巴癌，但是她拒绝接受深度化疗，因为化疗可能拯救她的生命，但是会杀死腹中的胎儿。
在怀孕期间，她曾经接受了三次低程度化疗，但是每次化疗过后，她的身体状况丝毫没有变好，反而越来越差。Hammond生完女儿之后，虽然接受了全面的化疗，但最终没有挽回她的生命。
Hammond的丈夫Peter Wojcik说，“我为我的妻子感到自豪。我想她可能没有预见到会是这种情况。但即使她预见到了，她也不会告诉我们。”
“她只是希望把最好的都留给自己的女儿和所有爱她的人。她一直希望做一个母亲。”
澳大利亚马拉松冠军Kerryn McCann上月也被诊断为乳腺癌。她的儿子Cooper于6周前出生，因此她已经可以进行化疗。
Doctor stops cancer treatment to save daughter
September 14, 2007 12:00am Article from: Herald Sun
A BRAVE doctor stopped her own cancer treatment, sacrificing herself to save the life of her unborn child.
Dr Ellice Hammond, 37, lost her battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma on Sunday, just three weeks after the premature birth of her first child, Mia Ellice.
The Glen Iris GP chose not to have high-level chemotherapy that may have saved her life but could have killed her child.
She was diagnosed in the 22nd week of her pregnancy, and Mia was induced at 31 weeks, on August 20.
Mia is being treated at Monash Medical Centre's neonatal intensive care unit.
During her pregnancy, Dr Hammond endured three rounds of reduced-strength chemotherapy in order to protect her daughter.
But after each treatment the cancer returned worse than before, and stepped-up treatment after the birth was not enough to save her.
Distraught husband Peter Wojcik said he was proud of his wife's devotion to the daughter she had always dreamed of.
"It feels like I got robbed of a wife and a mother," he said.
"I guess she didn't expect it to go this way, and if she did she wasn't telling us.
"But she would just want what is best for Mia and for everyone to love her and carry on with life.
"We had to make a decision on whether we would take the baby out early, while Ellice was relatively healthy. Otherwise, there was no point carrying the baby -- the baby would be affected by the illness."
Seeing his wife and daughter together for a precious few days has been of some solace to him.
"Her whole life was looking forward to being a mum. She loved it," Mr Wojcik said.
"They have a kangaroo chair here, where they can put the baby down inside your shirt and you can lie back.
"And the first time Ellice tried that, she had tears coming down. She was just so happy.
"That is one of the reasons she used her name as Mia's middle name, so she could pass something of herself on to her."
Australian marathon champion Kerryn McCann, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last month, is now fighting a similar battle.
The Commonwealth Games marathon gold medallist gave birth to son Cooper Patrick on September 6.
He was induced six weeks premature so that she could begin chemotherapy.
Dr Hammond had thought her initial symptoms were due to the pregnancy.
But a bone marrow biopsy in June revealed she had Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Mia was protected by her placenta during the three rounds of chemotherapy.
She is developing well, and Mr Wojcik hopes to take her home in the next fortnight.
"I think she'll be a little spoilt wild one, but I'll love her to bits," he said.
"The day that Ellice passed away I brought the grandparents in, and we had a little private room, and we sat for a couple of hours with Mia. And I think it was good healing.
"She was a little happiness at the end of a hellish day.
"She shows no signs of any problems and her blood vessels are good. She is gaining weight and eating well.
"I don't know how much of her (Ellice) will be shown in little Mia, but it will be interesting to find out over the years," Mr Wojcik said.
"Ellice was an angel. She had a great sense of humour, and made people laugh because she liked to clown around a lot.
"A lot of her patients loved her because she'd take the time to talk to them.
"She was a good counsellor to a lot of people."
Dr Hammond will be farewelled in Malvern East today. |
