Young Cancer Survivors Rarely Take Steps To Prevent Infertility | Stronger Than Cancer
Another challenging topic. Yes, some doctors are counseling their patients about fertility issues, but patients are already overwhelmed just hoping to survive, they are not thinking clearly about their future.
Also, young women in this position don't want to burden their families with the cost of preserving fertility.
This may also go beyond the role of insurance companies.
I think this will be a subject that gets heated debates in the coming years. There is already the debate about birth control and who is responsible for this - adding cancer to the discussion is more complicated. Now we have mixed our personal decisions about family into politics.

Most Anal Lesions Don't Cause Cancer in Men
Most Anal Lesions Don't Cause Cancer in Men, Research Shows | Stronger Than Cancer
The HPV virus which increases a woman's risk of ovarian cancer, does not have the same risk for men.
The progression rate from high-grade anal lesions to anal cancer was about one in 600 per year for HIV-positive men and about one in 4,000 per year for HIV-negative men. In comparison, the progression rate from high-grade cervical lesions to cervical cancer is about one in 80 per year.

Wade Hayes battles stage IV colon cancer
Musician battles stage IV colon cancer | Stronger Than Cancer
Musician Wade Hayes battles stage IV colon cancer.
Colon cancer grows slowly, and is highly preventable, but often goes unnoticed because it has few symptoms.
This is one cancer that should be screened regularly, as unappealing as a colonoscopy seems - it is worth it. They catch many cancers in time with this procedure!!

Pregnancy Safe for Women With Estrogen-Sensitive Breast Cancer
Pregnancy Safe for Women With Estrogen-Sensitive Breast Cancer | Stronger Than Cancer
This is great news. We don't always plan pregnancies, and this will ease some of the anxiety associated with pregnancy after a diagnosis of breast cancer.
And young women who have early breast cancer can work toward a future family.
Always good to be careful. Susanne Somers was criticized for her bio-identical hormones (promoted for their anti-aging effects), and she has been fine with her breast cancer.
The biggest concern is the effect of cancer treatments: radiation, and chemotherapy, and tamoxifen - these have an affect on the rest of the body, and can affect overall health, which can further complicate a pregnancy.
Although the research is encouraging, if do you hope to get pregnant after cancer treatment, do everything you can to detox the body of all residual chemicals.
A clean healthy body will produce a clean healthy baby!!

New Evidence Strengthens Link Between Opioids And Cancer Growth
New Evidence Strengthens Link Between Opioids And Cancer Growth | Stronger Than Cancer
There's always potential interactions when you put drugs in the body. Yes, we are trying to fight the cancer, but even drugs used to treat other complications are contributing to future cancers.
With everything, try to use the least amount of drugs for the job.
And after any medical treatment, cleanse the body - do a detox - flush those chemicals out!!
