BECOMING A MOTHER AFTER BREAST CANCER

The Vithas Fertility Center specializes in the analysis and implementation of different treatments adapted to each patient’s post-cancer situation.

October 19, International Breast Cancer Day, is an opportunity to reflect on the most common malignancy affecting women today. It’s important that, after the initial shock of the news, patients set themselves challenges and plans for the future that will give them extra motivation during treatment. Many women of childbearing age who haven’t had children yet, or who would like to have more, don’t know whether they’ll be able to start a family after cancer. Fertility preservation treatments play an important role in this respect.

When a patient suffers from cancer, she may have to undergo treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which can cause irreversible damage to her eggs.
