A member asked:

Would breast cancer grow in a pregnant woman? even if it's er positive.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: Pregnancy does not exempt you from developing breast cancer. So you need to be alert just like all women. But pregnancy does not seem to make breast cancer any different(safer or more dangerous). If you feel a lumpm, inform your doctors and get it checked out.
