Is it possible to be a donor if you've had cancer? Would the mother even want to take that chance- the lady who works with me - her hubby is in a wheelchair - I don't believe permanently- he has beaten cancer, but the ongoing treatments has caused him to be weak at times, causing him to be in the wheelchair. Conception cannot be through natural methods obviously- IDK if it's his sperm. She's almost due. She really doesn't elaborate too much on it.
