What Are The Chances Of A Man Passing Cancer Cells To A Woman?
Can a man pass cancer cells to a woman? My recent marriage is to a man that has lost 2 wives to cancer. One to lung cancer the other to breast cancer. I am concerned now since I am 55 and post menopause. Did not have a period for 2 years then had one recently. Went to Dr. Had sonogram done, found cyst

Its not possible to transmit or contract cancer / cancer cells from person to person. Only virus which increase risk of cancer can be transmitted.
Both lung and breast cancer dont have virus as a risk factor.
Dont worry.
Meet a gynecologist for a complete local examination if possible a colposcopy.
