The only basis to sue, as I see it, is if he was rendered sterile by chemo, giving him no future options to become a father other than his spouse also going through the services of a sperm bank.
The woman, married or not, assumed all responsibilities attached to her usage of the sperm bank's services, so she can't sue for child support. And her spouse, if there is one, assumed and signed for, all responsibilities as the recognized father under law.
Now, if she distinctly noted that there could be no history of cancer (and that usually is a process of donation-that certain genetic anamolies render a potential donor unsuited), she might have a case against the sperm bank, but that would not be his problem.
I used these services, btw, so I have an inkling of what happens.
