About fertility preservation
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy and some surgeries may have a damaging effect on fertility. While these treatments are effective in improving survival rates, they can severely impact ovarian, testicular or uterine function. However cancer treatments don't have to end your hope of having a family.
Some women with cancer may be able to preserve their fertility by freezing their eggs or embryos before having cancer treatment, and men may be able to freeze sperm.
We know that the initial focus of care is the creation of your treatment plan with your cancer care team. In parallel to this, and in partnership with your cancer care team, we can discuss your options for preserving your fertility. We can potentially even plan treatment within 48 hours if necessary. If you decide to go ahead, treatment can start straight away to avoid any delays to planned cancer treatment.
