Cancer and pregnancy

While a woman feel blissful and blessed as being an expectant mother, there are situations where you cannot avoid worries about pregnancy complications and other health challenges during pregnancy. And one of these is cancer during pregnancy.

An expectant mother especially in the late middle ages are likely to develop cancer than that those of the young age, as most observations predict. Some of the most common are cervical cancer, breast, blood or the lymph system. However this seems rare in occurrence.

Serious questions are raised on this situation and some are:

• Is the cancer treatable?
• Is the treatment compatible with continuing pregnancy?
• Will the cancer affect the baby?
• Will the treatment affect the baby?
• Should a termination be performed and is this an acceptable proposition? These and many more.

Also many fears that cancer will likely to spread to the fetus. Nonetheless, this does not happen and the assumption is that this is not possible.
