Meet with oncologist: There are very different answers depending on the type of cancer. Cancers like breast or melanoma will be stimulated by the hormones of pregnancy. Some cancers have treatments that would be ok during pregnancy while others can spread through the placenta to the baby. Meeting with both your oncologist and your OB to discuss the risks to you and the pregnancy is important. Good luck.
