Great Q&A. Women seeking donor sperm can receive financial aid through our organization Fertile Action, as well as long-term storage for eggs, embryos or left over sperm. We also have fertility docs willing to give cancer patients 50% off their IVF treatments in the Los Angeles area.
Please visit fertileaction.org for more information.
Thanks for this great information!

I wasn't sure where to write about this subject, so I am so glad you wrote this, PJ!
I am 35 now and had chemo and guess what? My periods are back and the endo/gyn says all systems are go! Great news, if I actually wanted kids! But I am child-free and happy to be. I just wanted to share this information because chemo-pause was one of the things I worried about. Well, it didn't happen here, and the younger you are, the better chances you have of not having chemical menopause.
So I am proof! My ovaries work, and the eggs look good, so says the doc. Hope this brings some hope to young women out there that are interested in kids.
Big Warm Hug,
Peglove.
Thanks for sharing this happy news with the community, Peg. And it didn't even take that long for everything to start working again, did it? Even if you don't want kids, it's nice to know the chemo wasn't doing permanent damage. YAY!
