A member asked:
How could someone get pregnant while going through radiation treatments for breast cancer?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Since radiation is only affecting the area being treated, the breast, there is no concern or impact one's ability to get pregnant during this treatment. If you have received chemotherapy prior your fertility could be impacted. However, since you are fertile and your ovarian and uterine function should be unaffected, if you are sexually active you need to continue the same behavior as before xrt.
