    Tough situation, I am a little confused - the chemo is for something not pregnancy related? How can she have chemo and keep the baby - or is that the point that she won't be keeping it?
    Unfortunatly in the case of a molar pregnacy there's no embryo instead the placenta forms a mass of cysts, this is removed by the D&C.

    I do not have an personal experience with chemo in regards to molar pregnancies but I have had losses and that is hard enough without the extra stress of a molar pregnancy and then chemo so I do personally believe it is a big deal. In saying that I am not aware of the relationship she has with your parents and I can understand that she may be experiencing emotions that she is unsure herself how to deal with. I think that if is a case of loosing your own relationship with her you should keep it to yourself am offer her all the love and support you can as she will be needing it even if she does not realise it herself just yet.
    I hope in time she will be able to share with your parents what she has been through.

    I pray for you sister that the chemo goes well and that it has not spread beyond her uterus.
