Yes, those life saving treatments may render you unable to get pregnant in the future. Thanks to cryopreservation, you may fulfill your dream of parenthood once you’re well again. For detailed information on the reproductive risks of various chemotherapies and radiation treatments, see the Risk Calculator page at Fertile Hope.org . Your oncologist and reproductive specialist will work as a team to guide you in making the decision.
