Fertility<br />

options<br />

after a<br />

cancer<br />

diagnosis<br />

A cancer diagnosis often comes out of<br />

the blue and starting or extending your<br />

family will probably be the last thing on<br />

your mind. However, it’s important to<br />

consider your options for the future,<br />

explains Shonagh wAlker.<br />

A<br />

cancer diagnosis is a<br />

frightening enough prospect,<br />

not to mention the thought<br />

of months of gruelling treatment.<br />

On top of this, many young girls<br />

and women discover they have just<br />

a tiny window to decide on their<br />

future fertility options. It’s something<br />

they may not have even planned<br />

to consider for many years to come,<br />

particularly if they’re pre-pubescent.<br />

However, with medical<br />

advancements and technology being<br />

more effective and more readily<br />

available than ever before, this<br />

window of hope is widening and<br />

allowing increasing numbers of cancer<br />

patients the chance to realise their<br />

dreams of starting or extending their<br />

family. Here, experts share their best<br />

advice on preserving your fertility in<br />

the face of a cancer diagnosis.
