Pregnant With Cancer
Posted: 09-22-04 18:19pm

My friend whom is only 11 weeks pregnant found out today that she has some type of sarcoma cancer in her leg. The doctor that called her with the results of her mri made the comment of 'minimizing the amputation for the sake of the child'. How dangerous is this condition to her health and to her unborn child?
Will she have to choose between her leg and her baby?

First of all I just want to say sorry about your friend that is sad to hear. May god bless her.

The doctor should know this question she should ask whether it is risky for the baby i'm sure she does not want to lose her baby after all its a gift.

If it does affect the baby could she wait until after she has her baby. I know this must be a hard time for your friend but I hope she does not lose faith.
