My girlfriend has stage 3 or stage 4 ovarian cancer. She had her tubes tied but we had sex two weeks after the surgery. Now she is pregnant. She is doing her chemo therapy however i wanted to know what are the risk of her having this baby and/or would she have to terminate the pregnancy?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sex should be started after at least a month from the surgery for lobectomy. Unfortunately due to having sex too early there is a pregnancy. There is a significant chance of having an abnormal fetus because she is taking chemotherapy. Please consult the oncologist and make them aware of the situation. Since there might have been adverse effects on the growing fetus, it is better to consult a gynecologist and take a collective decision on the future of the pregnancy. Chemotherapy medicine is strong any might have affected the fetus in the early weeks of pregnancy. Continuing chemotherapy might be more important in her case. Please do not worry.
