My first baby was born at 36 weeks. He is a happy, healthy 16 yr old, doing great in school. No developmental issues whatsoever. My cancer came around when he was 8.

I think, if she wants to see her baby grow up, she might want to do everything she can to stop the cancer. Including exercise, aspirin, supplements, whatever. She doesn't need the additional burden of feeling guilty that she hasn't done everything she could think of if the cancer ever recurs.

Just my perspective, ofcourse. Ultimately, she needs to do what works for her.
