My wife has got papillary thyroid cancer. We were following with doctors and it was informed that surgically it will be removed. Today we came to know suddenly that my wife is postive .
Can we do operation during pregnancy.
Last month 15th she had and this month 15 she did not have and when we tested she was positive.
First baby was premature baby born in 7 months and now she is 2.7years old. C section.

Terminate the pregnancy now and take treatment for thyroid cancer from onchosurgeon ..
Mothers health is now priority..
