In certain cancer conceiving is not possible. In any sort of cancer in the reproductivity organs, Ovaries, Cervicx, etc., they remove all the organs completely and so no conceiving is possible. In case of Breast cancer also it depends on various factors. Since each person's situation is different, this is something to discuss with your doctor to find out what would be best for you. In some advance stages very strong medicines are injected and it makes conceiving very difficult.
As per the latest reports a patient after being treated for breast cancer, women of childbearing age need only wait 6 months to conceive, not the 2 years that is often recommended, findings from a new study suggest. However, the longer wait may be warranted for women still receiving treatment or those with a more advantaged disease.
The 2-year wait that is frequently advised stems from anecdotal evidence, according to the report in the December 7th Online First issue of the British Medical Journal.-
