Jenna Jameson has revealed her secret battle with skin cancer caused her to lose her baby.
Jenna - the world's most famous adult movie star - was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2004 and was two-months pregnant at the time.
But the next day, Jenna suffered a miscarriage - which doctors believe was brought on by the stress of learning she had cancer.
The star told Us Weekly magazine: "If the pregnancy would have lasted, I wouldn't have had the surgery. So it was all in God's plan."
Jenna, 33, had visited a dermatologist to have some veins on her back treated when, by chance, an abnormal mole was discovered.
The star was shocked to discover it was a malignant melanoma.
Since having surgery the actress has been cancer-free.
Jenna's mother, Judith, died from skin cancer before Jenna was two years old.
Judith had worked as a Las Vegas showgirl, which inspired Jenna to work as a dancer before moving into the adult movie industry.
