A member asked:
Does leukemia make me sterile?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably chemotherap: Leukemia itself is unlikely to cause sterility but chemotherapy used to treat leukemia is more likely to have caused it in case you have suffered sterility after receiving treatment for your leukemia.

Sterility is .....: Associated with some of the drugs used to treat leukemia. Of course, the probability of this occurring is proportional to exposure to these agents, which in turn is associated with the type of leukemia and the intensity of therapy needed to treat it. Examples are anthracyclines and oxazophosphorines, but there are many others. Can you give us additional information about your treatment?
