Actually, she developed cancer at age two, went into remission at age ten, and had a relapse at age twenty-eight.

I guess that still makes it impossible.

Pah.

Usually, when I am giving chemotherapy to leukemia patients, they are on birth control and it is not reccomended to become pregnant at that time. Familiy planning is discussed with the pts before they start the treatment for fertility issues. After some chemotherapies, your ovaries and gonads are fried making reproduction difficult.

is this question in common words hypothetical? there are quite a number of differing kinds of leukemia. they don't influence the fetus straight away, yet maximum drugs used to attend to leukemia are extremely poisonous. depending on the fashion of maximum cancers and how a procedures alongside in being pregnant you're, you should opt to debate with the well being care service your quite a number of ideas for remedy and persevering with/terminating the being pregnant.

yes they can but its not good on their imune system...i dont know if your character should have leukemia though b/c its more commonly a childhood disease...but they are able to get pregnant its just unsafe b/c theyre likely to die they cant undergo treatment and the baby will be born most likely premature and unhealthy :(

Yes, but in hte later stages, it's not liekly. I would write her leukemia diagnosis after finding out she was pregnant.

Antileukemia drugs and therapy might prevent pregnancy, but you certainly should not get pregnant. It would be very irresponsible because of the effect of treatment of the fetus.

Most likely, but I think it would be hard to carry the pregnancy to term.
