Newly diagnosed and pregnant

@"Courtney Bianca" just been reading your post and pleased to see that your surgery was successful.  Absolute confidence in your team will help you come to the acceptance of where you are at and by all accounts that's where you are at now.  We are here to chat and help you through and look forward to your post to tell us that your bub has arrived.  Take care and hugs

@"Courtney Bianca" Glad all went well. Im in Perth too. I had Professor Saunders and she is amazing. Hope all goes well with you and bub.

@"Courtney Bianca" firstly congratulations on the baby. I can imagine how scary this must all be for you. It's scary for all of us without being pregnant as well. If you pop pregnant and chemo into the search bar at the top right of the page quite a few old posts come up. I had a quick look and there are some stories of ladies who had chemo whilst pregnant. They might be reassuring for you to read. 
I wish you al, the best.

Hi @courtneybianca. Glad to hear surgery went well and baby is okay. I'm newly diagnosed grade 2 ER and PR positive and HER-2 negative. All a big shock at the moment because I'm also 8 weeks pregnant. My surgeon is not wanting to operate though and so I'm looking at starting chemotherapy in 4 weeks time instead. Hope your treatment goes well.

@Ladylee I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis so early in your pregnancy! I know how devastated I felt and still feel, and can just imagine all the worries going through your mind. Mine is also stage 2, but only progesterone +, grade 3. We are having our 20wk anatomy scan on Thursday to confirm everything is ok but so far baby has been kicking up a storm and seems to be growing fine. I start chemo next Friday. I hope that this reassures you a little bit about your baby but it's completely ok to be stressed, anxious, and angry about it all. I know I am!! It's hard to believe baby will be ok when there are already so many pressures to do the 'right things' for your baby and then are told chemo is fine?! All I'm doing is trying my best to trust the wonderful medical team looking after me, I hope that you are doing ok and feeling confident in those looking after you xxx

@CourtneyBianca - thanks for the support and well wishes, it means a lot :smile: I'm going for a progress scan tomorrow (Thursday) as well and will be good to see bub and just reassure myself I guess that bubs is still there... I'm glad your lil bean is making his\her presence felt and hope the scan goes well for you :smile: Your journey is definitely giving me some reassurance about the process. I'm still kinda numb about it all but I think I'll be more settled once they have set the dates for chemo and I'm out of the waiting stage. Thanks again for sharing and all the best for your scan and chemo next week xxx
