Though it is true the Chemo would probably cause a spontaneous misscarriage the last thing you want to worry about would be a pregnancy continuing after all that Chem. One of the two maternal deaths I have seen in the last 10 years was a case of Acute leukemia at 19-20 wks she died at 23 wks after falling to recover her counts post chemo, cause was DIC and sepesis, she had refused termination at 16 wks.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
