Can I Get Pregnant While On Treatment For Brain Cancer Stage2?

Hi, I am a caucasian female (39 years old) and are suffering from brain cancer stage 2. I am not taking kimo but am taking B17 (from apricot seed). My condition now is not serious. But I am praying that I would cure. My question is can I get pregnant and when could that be.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, it is not advisable to conceive during any cancer of the body.
Pregnancy causes extreme stress to the body.
And this can flare up cancer and can cause spread to distal organs.
The treatment, you are taking is also teratogenic. And hence it can damage and deform growing fetus.
So better not to get pregnant.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
