Re: Cancer. What would you do...?
In a nutshell, cancer at a young age (e.g. 30-35 years) is not common. Most probably they are at an earlier stage and can be treated easily or left untreated, depending on certain factors.
When we talk about cancer, not every cancer is detrimental to the baby or mother
Most of the patients with cancer diagnosed before getting pregnant can elect not to become pregnant till adequate treatment (if possible) can be given
Although there is a theoratical risk of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy for the baby, most women can go through pregnancy without complications.
The cancers that are hormone dependent, are the ones to progress during pregnancy..... e.g. breast cancer, not liver cancer.........
It also depends upon the stage of the cancer............ because stage determines the treatment modality.
