    Chemotherapy and pregnant
    I have non small cell lung cancer, and I've been undergoing chemotherapy for the last year. I just found out that I am 8 weeks pregnant. I want to know what genetic testing I can do to make sure the chemotherapy hasn't damaged the fetus? I did chemotherapy for the first 3 weeks of my pregnancy because I didn't know. My oncologist is out of the country so I don't have anyone I can ask and I'm so scared

    From all I have read on this subject, they say chemo while pregnant does not harm the fetus. You are wise though pursuing this when your oncologist gets back.
