Hi,

Well, since your husband is under treatment for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and already undergone surgery as well as being given chemotherapy for a tumor around the spinal cord, he is unlikely to have sensation during sex/intercourse; which may improve with time. This is non-communicable disease hence nothing to worry about it.

Since he is getting an erection you both can carry on with protected intercourse if the health of your husband allows. No concerns at all. Rest of the things you can very well discuss directly with the Surgeon who operated and the Oncologist who is giving chemotherapy and be assured.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon
