Some cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can cause infertility. The risk of infertility is an important topic to discuss after being diagnosed with cancer and yet many doctors do not bring the subject up with their patients. Recent surveys conducted in California and Sweden found that only 50% of females affected by cancer were given reproduction counseling.
It’s important that you understand your reproductive options before getting treatment. If you’ve already received treatment, there is still help available.
