Isolation, anxiety, anger and fear of dying are all common feelings.

It is important to understand that everybody responds differently at different stages of their diagnosis and that you may experience some or all of these feelings over time.

Diagnosis during pregnancy
If you develop breast cancer during pregnancy your treatment will depend on the type and extent of your breast cancer, and at what stage of your pregnancy it is diagnosed.

Your obstetrician will be involved with your treatment as well as your breast cancer specialist.

Your diagnosis may affect how you feel about your pregnancy and the birth of your baby.

Having treatment may also leave you feeling you are not as involved in your child's first year of life as you might have wanted.

Your decision
Although most pregnant women can have treatment for breast cancer without affecting the baby, some may be advised, or decide themselves to have the pregnancy terminated in order to receive certain treatments.

If you decide this is the best solution for you it can be a traumatic time for you and your partner.
