Pregnancy

judman92

When I was doing regular chemo out nurse told us that my fiance' and I need to practice safe sex because a pregnancy would be bad. We are now getting married in a couple of month and I really want to have kids. How long do you have to wait after doing chemo before you can have children or is it ever a possibility? I am currently xeloda and avastin I am stage IV colon with mets on my liver.
