Sex during treatment

My husband is having RCHOP chemotherapy for lymphoma His first cycle started 3 days ago. He feels well & wants sex. 
I have read various pieces of advice about this but some is conflicting. I don’t want to have penetrative or oral sex & compromise his or my safety. Can I please get some straight medical advice please 

  • Hello Somorand,sorry to hear about your husband’s diagnoses but great that he is feeling well.The only advice we had during Chemo was that condoms should be used . There are a lot of leaflets at the Chemo unit about sex and treatment too . I wasn’t in the mood for it ! 
    It’s great though that you have a close relationship and important for his well being too . 
    Keep in touch xxx

  • Yeah, i have no idea about the chemo he's receiving, but the chemo my wife had, we were warned about. It's as much for your safety than his. But you need to speak to his team about this. But a condom needs to be worn at all times for both your sakes.

    Even going to the loo, my wife had to flush with the lid down for a few days after each chemo, and flush twice. I hope you both get some sort of compromise.
