chemo treatment

hi, medhelp.
my sister had breast lump which was operated,
  the diagnosis... shows that features are consistent with an invasive moderately differentiated duct cercinoma in a fibrocystic background.
so the doctor adviced the it is an early stage of cancer, immediately a major operation was carried up on her, meaning the the full left breast was cut off.
but the problem now is that she is pregnant with 6months pregnancy and they want to treat her on chemotherapy which l know is a very add treatment.

Questions
1.  pls i want to ask if chemotherapy treatment can be taken by a pregnant woman of about 32yrs. would it not affect and kill the baby.
2.  what is the posibility of her given birth again.
3. is it not possible to given birht first be4 chemo treatment since it is 3months remaining for her to give birth.
4.
4.

I am sorry to hear of your sister's diagnosis with BC, esp. during her pregnancy!

Questions in this forum are answered by survivors and other volunteers generally not identified as medical professionals. We are unable, therefore, to provide specific treatment recommendations  concerning your  sister's case.
  
It would be best for you and your sisterr to discuss these questions with her oncologist, who would have the necessary medical expertise,  as well as having available all of the details of her medical history and test results.

Best wishes to both you and your sister...

There were two pregnant women receiving chemo at the same time I did. Both had successful pregnancies. I don't know if they had any additional pregnancies since then.

Best wishes for your sister.

Hi again,

I'm glad to hear you are working on a plan to provides the best care for your sister and her baby!

In regard to your question about the possibility of a future pregnancy, the Ameican Society of Clinical Oncologists has developed a Guideline on Fertility Preservation.
Your sister's oncologist is no doubt familiar with, or has access to, these guidelines.

There is also a  guide for patients, based on ASCO's recommendations, at the following link:

http://www.cancer.net/patient/Publications+and+Resources/What+to+Know%3A+ASCO%27s+Guidelines/What+to+Know%3A+ASCO%27s+Guideline+on+Fertility+Preservation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The introduction lists these key points:

•Certain types of cancer treatments can affect a person’s fertility (ability to conceive a child or maintain a pregnancy).

•There are various options to help preserve fertility in men and women.

•Before treatment begins, talk with your doctor about the possible fertility related side effects of your treatment and the options that are available to you to preserve fertility.
To help doctors give their patients the best possible care, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) asks its medical experts to develop recommendations for specific areas of cancer care. ASCO developed recommendations for fertility preservation for people with cancer.
