Can Cancer Be Transmitted Through Sex?
My husband has stage 4 colon cancer, and only found this devastating information out 2 months ago. He is very sick but refuses any kind of medical help and basically has given up on life.. My question for you is: He and I were intimate up until his prognosis.. Is there any chance that somehow I would be in danger of developing any type of cancer through sex.... This has me and him very worried.. Please respond.. Thank you!
