Sir, my fiancee is having breast cancer and she was getting treated with chemotherapy. Now she will treated with radiation. She has been diagnosed with ER/PR positive. So doctor has stopped her periods & told that it will be stopped for 5 years. So I want to know that can she try for pregnancy after marriage in between those 5 years? & What are the effects, merits or demerits.

Hello! one thing is not clear in your question that surgery is over or not? Otherwise when someone will receive chemotherapy they will undergo chemical catastrization (ovarian failure) because of some drugs. For young patients we advice to do some extra tests to find out susceptibility of that patient for ovarian carcinoma. On other hand as normally recurrences will happen in initial 2-3 years of completion of treatment we advise patients to keep pregnancy minimum after 2 years.

Hello dear lybrate-user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* Status of the ovaries on ultrasound and MRI in some cases, with certain lab evaluations for the hormones are mandatory to answer this question.* But it is not advisable for her to try for pregnancy for minimum 3 years period post radio therapy & if there is no menses for 5 years there is no issue of thinking in that direction. Hope this will help you for sure. Wishing her fine recovery and a very good health ahead. Regards dear take care. May god bless her with all new rays of hopes this Diwali.
