Hi!
welcome to healthcaremagic.com.Women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer can maintain their fertility and get pregnant. Previous chemotherapy for breast cancer does not present any supplementary risks for the child's mental or physical health.
The common recommendation for women with early stages of breast cancer is to wait at least 6 months up to two years after the end of their treatment before trying to become pregnant, because most of the recurrences of cancer occur during this period of time .Healthy pregnancy can occur even after chemotherapy with no consequences for the fetus or even later for the child. From the international seminars in surgical oncology.
