Saving Cancer Patients' Fertility

Saving Cancer Patients' Fertility

If you follow the link below you'll find a news article laced with links to site dealing with "oncofertility."  Most of us are older when we get ovca, but it's particularly tough on the younger women, and I hope this information will be of value to them.  It applies to all types of cancer, too, by the way.    


GUIDE TO SAVING CANCER PATIENTS' FERTILITY
The powerful chemotherapy and radiation used to save cancer patients' lives also can destroy their fertility. A researcher and an oncologist from the Feinberg School of Medicine have written a guide to help doctors navigate their patients through the new technologies available to preserve fertility and understand the fertility threats posed by their cancer treatments.
