Q: Can sucking nipple of the affected breast may cause cancer to husband?

There was some discharge from my wife's nipple. But I continued sucking it during our foreplay. After a month or so she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Do you think sucking the nipple of the affected breast for few months may cause cancer to husband?

No, as far as current research shows, cancer isn't contagious - it's not transmitted from person to person. I hope your wife is doing well - PJH
