I am 8 months pregnant, and my biopsy report came back positive. Should treatment start immediately, or should I deliver the baby first? Will chemotherapy affect my child?

Asked by Female, 28 · 7 days ago

At 8 months of pregnancy, your doctor may consider delivering the baby first if it is safe, and then start treatment. Some chemotherapy can be given in the later stages of pregnancy with careful monitoring, but it may still carry risks to the baby. Please speak with your oncologist and obstetrician as soon as possible to determine the safest plan for you and your baby.
