[|Human|] When I was 12 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. I went through chemotherapy and was said to be cured at age 13. Lately me and my finance have been talking about having kids and our future. I am just worried that if I have children my cancer could come back and then I could die and leave my husband and children behind. I guess what I am asking is what is the likely hood that my cancer could return. Do most that have gone through this live long cancer free lives or does it return?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Pregnancy does not influence the appearance of cancer cells. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph nodes, and you had non Hodgkin lymphoma anaplastic large cell type which was cured with treatment. These cancers respond well to treatment and your treatment was complete. Cancer is closely monitored for 5 years. Most cancers return in 5 years and require treatment. This happens in only few patients and rest live long cancer free lives. There is no need to worry about having kids and your cancer coming back. Please do not worry.
