Does Chemotherapy For Lymphoma Cause Infertility In Man?

Hi, I just got a call that I might be a parent. I was on 5 different chemo-therapies one of which was cytoxan. I came off the chemo a year ago, but now I take a maintenance chemo which is Rituxan every 3 months. I had hodgkin's lymphoma. I am 21, 6'3" and weigh 180lbs. My main question is can I really still get a girl pregnant, because I was told I couldn't?

Theoretically, it can be harmful to sperms but why don't you get your semen tested in a lab. though great chance of poor result is there
