Okay. Deep breath. You just found out you're pregnant. And you have cancer.

Both. At the same time.

And right now... right this second... you're probably sitting somewhere feeling like the world just broke. Like the rules don't apply anymore. Like nobody, absolutely nobody, understands what you're holding.

I get it. Well, I don't get it personally. But this book? This book gets it.

You're reading this description at 2 AM because you can't sleep. Or maybe in a hospital bathroom after another confusing appointment. Or on your phone while your partner drives you home in silence because what is there even to say?

You need help. Real help. Not the kind where people tell you to "stay strong" or "think positive" or whatever garbage makes them feel better about your nightmare.

You need someone to tell you:

• What questions to actually ask the oncologist who's never treated a pregnant woman
• How to make insurance cover treatments they're calling "experimental"
• What to do when one doctor says treat now and another says wait
• How to explain this to your other kids without destroying them
• Which chemotherapy drugs have actually been used in pregnancy before
• What to do when you're throwing up and can't tell if it's morning sickness or cancer treatment

Some things? Some things just suck. And this... what you're going through... this really, really sucks.

You didn't do anything to deserve this. You can't positive-think your way out. You're going to have to make impossible decisions with incomplete information while your body does two completely opposite things at once.

But here's the other thing nobody says: People survive this. Babies survive this. Not all. God, not all. But many. More than you'd think. And the ones who do best? They're the ones who had real information. Real tools. Real plans.

That's what this book is.

What's Actually Inside (Because You Need Specifics Right Now)

The First 48 Hours: Hour by hour, what to do when your brain stops working. Who to call. What to write down. How to not make huge decisions while in shock. There's a script. Word for word. For telling people. Because your brain won't make sentences for a while.

Finding Doctors Who Don't Panic: Most oncologists have never treated a pregnant woman. Most obstetricians run from cancer. This book tells you exactly how to find the ones who actually know what they're doing. Phone scripts included. Questions that reveal if they can handle your case or not.

The Treatment Timing Thing: Okay so... first trimester is dangerous for baby. But waiting might let cancer spread. Second trimester is safer but not safe. Third trimester... look, every week matters differently. This book breaks down what actually happens when. With real numbers. From real studies. So you can make real decisions.

The Money Disaster: Cancer's expensive. Pregnancy's expensive. Both together? Your insurance company's about to deny everything. But wait... there are programs. Drug companies have secret assistance funds. Hospitals have money for cases like yours. You just have to know how to ask. This book shows you how.

Your Body's Three-Way Chaos: Tired from cancer? From pregnancy? From treatment? Who knows! Nausea from morning sickness? Chemo? The tumor? This book gives you tracking systems that help doctors figure out what's causing what. So they can actually help instead of guessing.
