New Fertility & Parenthood Section
Treatment for cancer may affect your fertility. This means that it may not be possible for you to have a child naturally. Coping with a cancer diagnosis and treatment is not easy. However, there are options available that may enable you to preserve your fertility and build a family in the future. This new section of our Web site includes helpful information about natural conception of a child, the effects of treatment on fertility, and options for fertility preservation.
Revised Living Beyond Cancer Section
After cancer treatment, you may have questions regarding your health. You may also be reflecting on your cancer experience and realize you have concerns that you are now ready to consider. To help address these questions and concerns, we have revised the Living Beyond Cancer section of our Web site, including a new section designed for healthcare professionals.
