Some treatments affect fertility. If your team raised this, the timing is often urgent. Use this to organize the conversations with both your oncologist and a reproductive endocrinologist.

Questions for the oncology team

1. Will this treatment affect my fertility, and how?
2. Is the effect temporary or permanent?
3. How much time do I have before treatment must start?
4. Are there modifications to treatment that preserve fertility?

Questions for a reproductive endocrinologist

1. What preservation options are available given my time and diagnosis?
2. What’s the cost, and what does insurance cover?
3. What’s the success rate?
4. Are there programs (Livestrong, Heart Beat) that subsidize the cost?
