How long should I wait after chemo or radiation to have sex?
We recommend that you wait at least 72 hours after chemotherapy to have sex. This is the average time it takes for the chemo to leave your system. Having sex sooner could expose your partner to the effects of chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy does not linger in the body, so there is no risk to your partner. You do not have to wait.
