Good morning everyone
I hope this doesn't put you off your breakfast! I just wondered if anyone knew if there's a chance that traces of chemo drugs can be passed to my husband if we had sexual intercourse.
My last chemo was on Thursday and I'm on a chemo-free week next week and we're taking that opportunity to go away for a few days. It would be lovely to have sexy fun times again as I do sometimes miss it! And I feel it would bring some normality to the situation. But I don't want to pass anything on to him.
This may not be the best place to ask but I feel safer here than in other more public groups.
Cheers

Oh You are all a breath of fresh air - thank you. By the time I reply to some of the members in the group I champ for I often feel a little tired and deflated, but coming on here, reading your daft posts makes me laugh out loud. My libido's been up and gone years ago courtesy of hubby's dodgy hips, both happily now replaced but not around to doing what comes naturally!
Hugs, Barb xx

Thanks Pet1968! I'll double check with my nurse on Tuesday but what you say sounds reasonable.
I'm really looking forward to our break, even just to be in a different bed!
