Fertility Preservation Options for Females

My health care team had everything coordinated for me like I was royalty. I had the breast cancer surgery in early March, and two weeks later I was starting my treatment for egg retrieval. I started my chemotherapy, as planned, the next month. I thought doing the egg retrieval right after I finished surgery was going to be too intense, but I was so happy to be doing something that was going to take me one step closer to having the baby I always dreamed of. During the dark days of chemo, I often thought about my frozen eggs and how better things lay ahead for me. I am so thankful that I was in a place that knew how to coordinate all this for me. I read horror stories on line about women who weren't told about infertility or weren't given options or were told it would delay their treatment and there wasn't time. I can't say I'm glad I got cancer, but I am elated with the coordination I had for all aspects of my care. Courtney, Adult Cancer Patient
