Answer:
It really depends on what chemotherapy drugs you are given, as the side effects are different for each one. Please check with your doctor.For what it's worth my hubby and I had 1 child when he was diagnosed with Hodgekins Lymphoma. We were told probably no more kids. Well that was in 1998 and we have since had 2 more children (no help needed!).
It depends on several factors like the type of cancer, the duration and type of treatment, etc.But if you do end up having chemotherapy, there is no guarantee that you will be able to have children naturally. You may want to ask your doctor about freezing some eggs to do IVF later, just in case.
It's been done, talk to your GYN/OB and tell them your concerns.
