I'm not worried about catching cancer. I know that its not contagious. My concerns are the effects of the chemo drugs and whether or not she can be around me at this time and if she is still gettng treatment when the baby is born, can she be around him. I know that pg women or women of child bearing age cant be around some radiation patients. I guess I will just talk to my dr about it again.
