My cousin was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and about a week into radiation treatment, her and her husband found out they were pregnant. They had to continue with the treatment, and her doctor made it very clear that abortion was an option. The situation was, if the baby made it to 4 months without dying (only 20% chance, since a baby can't live without a thyroid) in her womb, the baby would be PERFECTLY fine if not the baby would die, or possibly be born deaf. Would you have chosen to abort or take the chances of the baby dying at 4 months, or being born deaf??
By the way, my cousins child was born yesterday, and passed the hearing test.
