Bonus Episode 7: Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients: Focusing on Survival and Your Life After Cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, which means today’s bonus episode is all about fertility preservation for cancer, otherwise known as oncofertility. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can turn your world upside down but understanding your fertility options from day one can make all the difference. Thanks to earlier detection and improved treatments, survival rates among cancer patients have increased steadily, and as a result, focus has shifted from immediate treatment to life after cancer too, including your future fertility. 

This episode comes from a recent webinar featuring Meghan Curci, Progyny Patient Care Advocate, Jaime Knopman, M.D., Director of Fertility Preservation at CCRM New York and part of Progyny’s Provider Network; Emily Rich, VP of Strategic Planning and Operations at UJA and Progyny member; Joyce Reinecke, J.D., Executive Director at Alliance for Fertility Preservation. 

 Host: Meghan Curci, Progyny Patient Care Advocate  

Experts:  Jaime Knopman, M.D., CCRM New York,  Emily Rich, Progyny member, Joyce Reinecke, Alliance for Fertility Preservation.
