Elizaveta Bulokhova Pregnant Model Diagnosed Of Jaw Cancer
Model Elizaveta Bulokhova was diagnosed of jaw cancer at the age of 24.
While vacationing with her husband in Amsterdam; a “normal toothache” changed her life forever and she was diagnosed of cancer.
The doctors said that they would have to remove the infected bone and start chemotherapy.
The pregnant model diagnosed of jaw cancer was asked to abort her baby before beginning with chemotherapy.
“He was very active and I would talk to him often when he was in my womb.”
“I had to tell him to stop moving because I couldn’t keep him and then all of a sudden he did. He listened; he stopped moving”
At the last minute, what can only be summed as a miracle, Bulokhova was given the option of having a C-section.
Her perfectly healthy son Valentine was born 10 weeks early.
“I just told myself whatever the universe has in store for me I will accept it. If my baby is meant to be born, he will be born.”
These pictures are from her most recent modelling session. She has lost 95% of her jaw and yet knows how to celebrate life.
The once pregnant model diagnosed of jaw cancer is a confident mother and a role model for all of us today.
What’s your excuse for being unhappy again?
