A member asked:

Are there any future risks to marrying a girl in her mid-20s who has been cancer free 6 mos (had lymphoma for 3 yrs) & possibly having kids with her?

What do you think: Anyone who has had a lymphoma may have a recurrence. Some meds that are used to treat lymphoma may reduce chance of fertility. Decide what your priorities are,learn as much as you can about your friends situation, and follow your heart. You can only do this by knowing as much as you can from the best source possible (her)

Chemo effects: There is a high risk of infertility in persons who have received chemotherapy due to the adverse effects of the drugs on the ovaries. It is unlikely, but not impossible that she could conceive unless she had eggs removed and frozen before chemo. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
