Should I Have An Abortion Due To Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Cancer Stage 4?
I am seven months pregnant and I was just diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Cancer Stage 4 a week ago What should I do?? The doctor is suggesting that I get an abortion done but I dont want to as it took me and my husband six years of trying to get a baby. He says if I undergo the surgery, I may miscarry or if I go through the pregnancy, it will be too late for any treatment. Apparently without treatment of this cancer, the survival time is about three months. He also said that the stress of child-birth could have serious effects on me. I am so confused. Please help.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have glioblastoma multiforme. It is WHO stage 4 brain cancer. You should take treatment of cancer as early as possible. You can not go through pregnancy. Because prognosis is very poor if cancer is not treated. If you get proper treatment in time then there can be chances of survival. You can get pregnant if you survive. SO take treatment as early as possible and terminate the pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
