Youngsters left infertile after cancer treatment given lifeline by new project

Youngsters left infertile after cancer treatment have been thrown a lifeline thanks to a new initiative.

The three-year project represents a €420,000 investment as part of the Society’s commitment to childhood cancers in its new five-year strategy. “We believe it is vital that all children and their parents have the opportunity to discuss fertility preservation options and have access to appropriate specialist services.

“We know the ability to have a family is hugely important for cancer patients’ quality of life after treatment, so this project will make a big difference for children who may not have been given that chance in the past.
