One good thing in your favor is you are ER negative so your cancer is not estrogen fed which by being pregnant would put you in more danger as estrogen is higher during pregnancy. Try to relax, take good care of yourself, eat well, get plenty of rest which may be hard to do with other children to take care of. You should do fine and this will be a very special baby! Easy for me to say this I am not in your shoes. No one can predict whether you will reocurr and hopefully, not in the 9 months you are pregnant. I am sure you will hear from others here as you are not the first one this has happened to. Sending you a big hug, Sandy
