Worth the Wait organized and presented at an educational webinar with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship called “Family Building and Cancer.”
Over 75 clinicians, patients, advocates and caregivers attended to learn how a cancer diagnosis at a young age can impact future fertility. Fertility preservation and building a family in survivorship, including non-traditional methods like adoption, surrogacy, and embryo donation were discussed.
Dr. Elizabeth Constance, a reproductive endocrinologist, presented information about fertility preservation and how to build a family in survivorship through assisted reproductive technology and more. Megan Scherer, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Worth the Wait, discussed financial and psychosocial resources and provide the basics on adoption and surrogacy for cancer survivors.
