When facing a cancer diagnosis, especially for those of childbearing age, the emotional turmoil can be overwhelming. At the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, we understand that along with health concerns, questions about starting or expanding your family often arise. Our Oncofertility program is designed to guide you through the complexities of fertility preservation before cancer treatment begins.
Building a Family After Cancer
Receiving a cancer diagnosis is tough at any age, but it can be even more challenging when you’re thinking about future family plans. You might be wondering if you’ll still have the chance to have children after your treatment. Questions like, “Will I be able to have a family once my cancer treatment is over?” and “Can I have a healthy baby after cancer treatment?” are common. We’re here to help you navigate these concerns with compassion and expertise.
