Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic.com.Well there is no such thing,neither cancer nor chemotherapy is something contagious,it can not affect anybody in the surrounding. Cause of previous miscarriages must be something else ,So don't think it will affect her pregnancy .Hope it helps and feel free to ask if you have any other queries,i wish her a healthy pregnancy .
I find this answer helpful
