A member asked:

When after chemo can you try to get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Ask your oncologist, they can guide you further. Most patients wait for 2-3 years , minimum...Simply because you want to be sure that your cancer is controlled for the long haul and not come back and make it tough to raise the child.
