hey everyone, I have had a very full on fortnight, 2 weeks ago the main thing on my mind was trying to fall pregnant after a year of trying, from the time I ovulated 2 weeks ago I found out I might have early breast cancer (heading in for a memmogram today) and also found out I am FINALLY pregnant. But now I'm freaking out! If I'm pregnant would I still be able to receive radiotherapy? Would I need to postpone the therapy or terminate the pregnancy? I really hope not! Sorry for being so long, I just want to know if anyone has been pregnant while receiving the therapy? Thanks.

    You cannot have radiation while pregnant. You can have a mastectomy and then wont need radiation. Good luck on the testing. I was also diagnosed during pregnancy, very hard time to be diagnosed. How did you find out? , I didnt had a lump.

    You dont need to terminate the pregnancy, tx can be successful while pregnant.
