Previous Episode: Welcome to That Cancer Conversation

Next Episode: Can we grow the treatments of tomorrow?

For the first episode of That Cancer Conversation, we explore infertility and cancer.

From teenage body worries to an intercontinental surrogacy story, we chat to Max, Kreena and Eleanor – 3 people whose cancer journeys affected their fertility in some way.

Is freezing sperm and egg cells the only option? Not necessarily.

We sit down with Professor Richard Anderson, deputy director of the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Reproductive Health, to explore options that are available and what the future of fertility medicine could look like.

If you would like to learn more about cancer and fertility, here are some resources:

If you’d like to talk to someone, Cancer Research UK nurses are available Monday to Friday 9-5pm on freephone 0808 800 4040.
