It really depends on what chemotherapy drugs you are given, as the side effects are different for respectively one. Please check with your doctor.
For what it's worth my hubby and I have 1 child when he was diagnosed beside Hodgekins Lymphoma. We were told probably no more kids. Well that be in 1998 and we enjoy since had 2 more children (no backing needed!).
It depends on several factors close to the type of cancer, the duration and type of treatment, etc.
But if you do end up have chemotherapy, there is no guarantee that you will know how to have children easily. You may want to ask your doctor about freezing some eggs to do IVF following, just contained by case.
It's be done, talk to your GYN/OB and relate them your concerns.
