Preserving Fertility with a Cancer Diagnosis

Creating a Family: Talk about Adoption & Foster Care - A podcast by Creating a Family

A diagnosis of cancer is devastating on so many different levels. Often patients are so overwhelmed that the last thing they think about is getting on with their life once treatment is past. This would include taking action now to preserve their option to have children after cancer. Host Dawn Davenport talks with Dr. Michelle Ottey, Laboratory Director for Fairfax Cryobank, who works with male cancer patients; Dr. Stephen Lincoln, Medical Director of the Fertility Preservation Center for Cancer Patients at the Genetics and IVF Institute; and Lauren Haring, Director and Co-Founder of the Fertility Preservation Center for Cancer Patients at GIVF.   Blog summary of the show and highlights can be found here:   Blog summary of the show   Highlights   More Creating a Family resources on preserving fertility can be found here.
