That must have been so hard. You are such a great friend. Everytime I hold a newborn baby it makes me want one. I know you love children so much. I am sorry you have to deal with this Have you tried going to your church and praying for an answer? Were you able to call some specialists?
I googled pregnancy + breast cancer and this is what it came up with. I think you had said that you were due in Sept. so I think you're about 18 weeks along. I hope this helps somehow. We are always thinking about you.

Twelve to Twenty-eight Weeks
During this interval the breast cancer can be adequately treated surgically without terminating pregnancy. Modified radical mastectomy is the treatment of choice. Adjuvant radiotherapy is contraindicated during pregnancy. The risk of recurrence should be estimated based on the pathology of the tumor. If the risk of relapse is high then adjuvant chemotherapy may be given.Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin with or without 5-fluorouracil is the preferred combination during pregnancy. Epirubicin and taxanes should be avoided. Tamoxifen exposure in the first and second trimesters may be associated with genitourinary abnormalities and therefore should be avoided. Referral of these patients for assessment is recommended.
