Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients:
Freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos is a great option for both men, women and couples who have been diagnosed with cancer and will have to undergo various cancer treatments. Cancer treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery can result in damage, partial, or complete loss of eggs and sperm.
Female cancer patients who may not be able to carry the pregnancy after treatment can still freeze their eggs and use a surrogate.
Eggs/sperm/embryos can be frozen and can be kept indefinitely until the patient is ready to start their family
