Post Treatment Educational Resources
A cancer diagnosis can be scary, overwhelming, and confusing. One thing you may want to think about is how cancer and treatments can affect your fertility now or in the future. Fertility is the ability to have biological children.
These resources will provide you with information about your fertility options after cancer treatment. Your medical team will talk to you about your short-term and long-term follow-up after your cancer treatment ends. They can also refer you to a fertility specialist (if you have not been connected with one already) to talk about your options after treatment.
Your experiences and preferences regarding your sexual and reproductive health are important.
