We teamed up with our friends at the Lymphoma Research Foundation to explore what fertility preservation options and family building can look like for lymphoma survivors— an issue close to home for adolescents and young adults.
Worth the Wait grant recipient, Nina Luker, shared her experience of receiving a B cell lymphoma diagnosis in her early 20s and the steps she took to ensure a future family through embryo preservation a few years after treatment. Dr. Wendy Vitek from the Strong Fertility Center joined as our medical expert providing lymphoma specific info about fertility and family building. And finally Megan Scherer shared information about adoption for cancer survivors and financial and psychosocial resources.
Thanks to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine for sponsoring Worth the Wait’s participation in this event.
