Is it safe? What are the potential side effects? After treatment, before treatment, during treatment, etc. Is the risk of cancerous cells being passed down genetically higher or lower in their children?
If you are trying to make a baby, I would hold off until chemotherapy is complete. As the radiation may mutate or damage germ cells. If you are not planning for a baby and just want some hoo ha ha, then go get 'er son.
Yep, I am forced to respond to stupidity so often that after more than 13 years.....all those responses just add up. DD
With a compromised immune system, if a person injected you with a cancer cell you could in fact "catch" cancer. Semenal fluid is not really conducive of cancer, so the probability is pretty close to zero.
you aren't forced, and the question wasn't as stupid as your childish mind wanted it to be. read the response before yours.
DD you outta think your posts out a little better. You are just being a plain d!ck. His question might seem petty to you, but to call his inquiries about cancer and health stupid (when it seems pretty implicit that someone he loves is likely afflicted with the diesease) is asinine. Even you are better than this.
I have to agree with DD here... The OP is asking if its safe to have sex with someone that has cancer...when have you ever heard of cancer being a sexually transmitted disease? HIV and Herpes, yes...cancer? Come on.
Exactly.... I am sure that GOOGLE would suffice for the answer, this seems like stirring the pot and nothing more than that. I have lost family to cancer I know how devestating that disease can be, but come on...asking if it is transmitted through sex. That can not be a real question. DD
And knowing the history of the guy who started it, and his propensity for stirring the pot.....well...... DD
I'm fixing this thread... First, is it safe? -Before treatment Like I said earlier, passing cancer to another person is not easily done, but yes, you can do it. Most of the time your immune system is strong enough to kill an intruder cancerous cell, so yes, it is safe. -During treatment The drug usually used is some cis-platanin derivative. Cis-platinin can easily diffuse in the body, it binds to DNA and stops it from replicating. Essentially it stops your cells from producing other cells. With a lot of exposure you could possibly have the drug diffuse into your system, but yet again the chances are astronomically low. -After treatment Yet again the risks are incredibly low. All in all, if you were to produce a child at any point in time during/before/after treatment the risks are equal. Cancer is caused by numerous factors, not all of them genetic inheritance. All in all, the chances of passing cancer to children is pretty much the same at all points in time. Even before cancer is detected, you still have as much of a chance to pass it down to your child as after the treatment. The risk of bearing a child during cancer is more toward the mother and less toward the child. While on the surface the question seems like a dumb one, it actually isn't.
Do scientist fully even understand cancer. It seems like sometimes cells just mutate randomly. It is likely not a std but I don't think it is a dumb question.
