Cancer makes you effectively sterile if not treated, read dead. Cancer treatment can most certainly make you sterile either directly such as with orchiectomy after testicular cancer or indirectly from radiation or chemo, especially the blood cancers, lymphoma and leukemia.
You can be a step-dad without adopting.
