Vanessa Carlton is canceling some upcoming tour dates due to her lost pregnancy, the 33-year-old singer surprisingly revealed today on Facebok.
Carlton was “diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, or in my case a fallopian pregnancy (the embryo settled in my tube, which is the width of a straw).”
“This is not considered a viable pregnancy,” she adds, the reason being:
“Because the fetus cannot develop and it is a high risk situation for the mother because of the potential for tubal rupture and internal bleeding.”
Doctors caught it early and took the necessary precautions to make sure everything went smoothly, but a week ago Monday, things went downhill.
“After the chemo shot and despite our best efforts, my tube started to rupture. I was experiencing internal bleeding,” she reveals of the scary ordeal.
A successful surgery “removed my entire right fallopian tube.”
She adds, “Unfortunately, I started getting intense nerve pain in one of my incisions. I was all set to fly to Vancouver on Wednesday but, alas, I am not ready.”
“So, sadly, I will need to cancel the first four dates of my November tour – this includes Vancouver, Bellingham, Portland and Seattle,” she went on.
“I need to stay close to my doctors and the hospital in case this initial pain turns into something more serious. I’m ready to get back out there mentally though.”
Regardless of the situation, Carlton remains positive.
“I’m so bummed about having to jank up this tour. It started off pretty great. My favorite even. Gimme a couple more days, I’ll be ready,” she assures fans.
“Thank you for all your support and understanding.”
Get well soon …
