More than 150,000 people of reproductive age are diagnosed with cancer each year. For cancer survivors, fertility preservation can be distressing. Insurance providers often don't cover the cost of expensive treatment and patients can be faced with starting cancer treatment right away which may impact their fertility.
Livestrong fertility helps bridge this gap by offering access to discounted fertility preservation services and free medications, giving survivors the chance to build a family. We are dedicated to helping women and men diagnosed during their reproductive years better understand cancer-related risks to their fertility and access discounted fertility preservation services and free medication.
Additionally, the Livestrong Fertility Brochure serves as an educational tool for patients and providers to inform survivors about cancer-related fertility risks and options for preserving fertility. The brochure is available as a pdf in both English and Spanish here.
