With earlier diagnosis and improved treatment modalities and management of breast cancer patients, survival is improving. An increasing number of survivors are in the reproductive age group; however a neglected medical area is contraceptive advice, failure of which can result in unwanted pregnancy and further medical complications. An undiagnosed pregnancy in a breast cancer survivor with known anthracycline- induced cardiomyopathy is presented here.
