I had a grade II oligodendroglioma, which was surgically removed 2 years ago. They were able to remove it 100% and I had no chemo or radiation treatment. I've had clear scans since then and I was given the green light to get pregnant by my doctors. I just found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant. I am very excited, but still very cautious about my health. I have found very little information on brain tumors and pregnancy and I'm not sure if there are questions I should be discussing with my doctors, especially my OB-GYN. Have you heard of any correlation between hormone levels and tumor recurrence? What risks does an MRI pose to my baby? I feel like I could possibly be missing an important topic to discuss with the doctors. Any suggestions?
