Medical Notes[]

Val Woodward[]

  • Diagnosis:
    • Pregnancy
    • Burkitt's lymphoma
    • Superior vena cava syndrome
  • Treatment:
    • Supplemental oxygen
    • C-section delivery
    • Chemotherapy

Val was 25 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with cancer. Since it hadn't been there on previous exam, they knew it was aggressive. She didn't have a few months to wait for the baby to be born, so Addison suggested they deliver immediately so she could begin chemotherapy. Val decided she wanted to wait, potentially at the cost of her own life. Val confessed to Addison that she'd previously had an abortion without telling her husband. She then struggled to breathe and had to be given supplement oxygen. The cancer had given her SVC syndrome. Her husband encouraged her to change her mind and have the baby delivered immediately so she could start treatment, but she resisted because of the past abortion. When she told him about it, he left. Addison later talked to him and informed him that he would lose Val if he didn't talk to her. Val agreed to have the c-section.

Baby Woodward[]

  • Diagnosis:
    • Prematurity
  • Treatment:
    • NICU care

Baby Woodward was delivered at 25 weeks so her mom could start cancer treatment.

Quotes[]

Addison: I realized that I'm asking you for everything, Sam, but I feel like if I don't ask for what I want, then what's the point? I want you and I want a baby. I want you and a baby. I just... I do.
Sam: I know.
Addison: And?
Sam: I have that. I have you and Maya and Olivia.
Addison: Well, then you can understand why I would want that too.
Sam: Look, there's no way... You can't compromise? Look, we can't just take a little more time and figure this out as we go?
Addison: My mother killed herself, Sam. You know, she spent her entire life never being who she really was, never saying, out loud, "This is who I am and this is what I want." And then when she finally did get the courage up to go for it, it was too late. She waited too long. Sam, I have already waited too long. You know, first, it was wait until you meet the right guy. And then I met Derek and I then told myself, "Addison, be smart, wait until you finish med school." Then wait until you finish your residency, and then wait until you finish your fellowship, and my marriage exploded. And then I had an affair. And then it was "Oh no, not now, you can't have Mark's baby, that would be unseemly." And I waited. And waited. And waited until I only had one leg left. It's not that I didn't want kids. It's because I took having kids for granted. Because a 13-year-old girl can do it. Because a 75-year-old man can do it. You know who can't do it? An overeducated, talented, strong, powerful woman in her forties. How ridiculous is that? How mad am I at my body? I waited too long and now it is time. I have a clock inside of me, Sam. It's not just ticking. The alarm is going off. It's screaming. I can't wait, not anymore. I'm sorry. I know that was a lot, but you understand? You get it?
Sam: Yeah. Are we breaking up?
