My friend had quimoteraphy and radiation can make her sterile?


Question:
when she was younger she hed to take quimoterapy for a tumor in the brain some body say to her that could make her sterile

Answers:
Sterility and chemotherapy are dependant on the drugs used. Radiation can cause sterility. It depends on the are being irradiated, the length of each radiation therapy session, and the total number of radiation therapy treatments.
As your friend had radiotherapy in the brain, then radiotherapy couldn't make her sterile!
Now it all depends on chemotherapy and how her body responded to it! But if she still has her period and was real young when having chemotherapy there are big chances that she isn't sterile! So keep up the hope. Plus she can do those blood tests that will really determine if she is sterile or not! But from what you say she shouldn't be sterile!
take care and good luck for your friend!
