Lowell Ku: Fertility Preservation Should Be Part of Breast Cancer Care from the Beginning
Lowell Ku, Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility, and Reproductive Surgeon at Dallas IVF, shared on LinkedIn:
“A cancer diagnosis can suddenly make the future feel very different from the one you had planned. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I want to make sure fertility is part of that conversation, too.
Some cancer treatments can affect ovarian function and future fertility, which is why talking with a reproductive specialist before treatment begins, when medically possible, can be so important.
Options such as egg or embryo freezing may allow patients to preserve possibilities for building a family later.
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and having children someday matters to you, please don’t be afraid to bring it up with your oncology team.
Fertility preservation deserves a place in the conversation from the beginning.
Cancer treatment comes first, but protecting your hopes for the future matters, too.”
