A member asked:
If my girlfriend has been going through chemotherapy for a couple months is it bad to have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but...: Intimacy is really important! if having sex would suggest: use a condom because her immunity may not be normal, think extra lubrication because chemo can dry things up. I'd say that being sexual could be really important and wonderful, and you can be sexual with her with or without insertive intercourse.
