Q: Breast Cancer While Unmarried or Pregnant—Can You Still Be a Mother? Doctor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer right after I got pregnant… Can I keep the baby? Doctor, I’m not married yet. Will I still be able to have children after treatment?

A: These are the questions young breast cancer patients are most afraid to ask. Many don’t even dare to ask, afraid of what the answer might be. But Professor Dai Wenyan says: There is a chance. Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you have to give up the baby; nor does a cancer diagnosis mean you have to give up your dream of becoming a mother. So what should you do if you’re diagnosed with breast cancer while unmarried or pregnant?
