Clinical nurse specialist, Joanne Frankel Kelvin, can help you understand your options for preserving the ability to have a child before cancer treatment starts.
Some treatments for cancer may affect your ability to have a child naturally. If you are interested in having children after your cancer treatment, let your doctors know. There may be steps you can take before treatment begins to preserve your fertility in the future. See our Fertility and Parenthood section within our Survivor Center for more information on this subject.
If you are a Memorial Sloan-Kettering patient and would like to speak with someone to learn more about your options for becoming a parent after cancer treatment, speak to you doctor or nurse and ask for a referral to the Clinical Nurse Specialist of the Fertility Preservation and Parenthood after Cancer Treatment program.
