my friend just found out she is pregnant. She has brain cancer and she just stopped doing chemo. I am afraid this is a risk. But everyone is so happy for her. How can I help her and appear like this is a good thing. When I know that this is not.

She is hoping to give life to the child. Chemo would kill the baby. Let her have the hope that she can give something to this world even though her outlook is not so good! By all means, treasure every single moment you can have together!

The baby is her choice, if she feels she can give life to a baby then maybe a little part of her will live on. Granted getting pregnant at this time was not a good idea. It will take a strain on her already diseased body, though its not proven that you can pass on cancer to a fetus, but it surely is very taxing on her body as well as the babies. Just support her decision it may not have been the best one, but its one she made. Hopefully the baby grows faster than the cancer and ALL things go well for her. She definantly can not continue treatment while she is pregnant.

what a hard situation to watch your friend go through. She will really need your support.
Women make the decision to get pregnant while seriousy ill all of the time. Some conditions actually improve during pregnancy such as Multiple Sclorosis.
As far as being happy for her, you should feel the way you feel, there is no need to put a happy face on for her. You can be supportive and worried and still think its a bad thing to do. As long as you emphasive the postitive and allow her to have her own joy, you can be a good friend. She may even find it refreshing to have someone be a voice of reason amid vapid well wishers.
recognize that she may only have one chance at a baby and this may be it, so help her to enjoy the parts that she can, look faorward to her new arrival and minimize her discomfort.
Best Wishes!

Regardless you need to support her, whether you think it is right or not. Voleenteer some of you time to help her, like once a week come over and clean for her. She will probably be on bedrest considering her cancer. Just try to be there for her, when she needs a shoulder to cry on lend her one.

I am not a physician, nor do I play one on television. I am just an ordinary guy trying to discover the universe. I have no idea what I am doing.

I am sorry, I think you should ask a doctor, I don' t think the people here are smart enough to know that kind of stuff.

How do you know it's not? Her doctors are very well aware of her medical history. If there was a problem, they will inform her of it.
