What will happen if you are diagnosed with cancer when you're pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: ... on the type of cancer, it's location, and the stage of the pregnancy. Sometimes it's best to wait on certain types of treatment (especially chemotherapy or radiation) in order to protect the growing fetus.
