Most of the time we think as sperm banks simply as places to find sperm donors. However, they can be valuable resources for cancer patients seeking to preserve their fertility.
Many cancer patients elect to store their semen and eggs to protect their fertility as they undergo chemotherapy and other treatments for cancer.
However, more patients than not don't realize this is an 0ption available to them. Even if they know the option exists, they may not think they can afford it.
However, there are organizations like Fertile Hope that offer financial assistance and sperm banks like California Cryobank that have discounted storage programs for individuals with cancer.
Please forward this article to any friends, colleagues or loved ones who are dealing with cancer and fertility preservation issues and let them know that there is help out there.
