Welcome. I'm another one who had rectal cancer while pregnant, but wasn't diagnosed until my baby was six weeks old. I had no idea you could have surgery and chemo while pregnant. I felt great throughout my entire pregnancy, exercised and worked full time. It wasn't until after that the constipation and bleeding got so bad that I insisted on a colonoscopy. MY GI was reluctant because I was breastfeeding, but he did it anyway. And they found a very large mass in my rectum, which turned out to be stage 4 (met to liver).
