Cancer diagnosis and IVF

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone on here by any chance has had their eggs retrieved as a result of a cancer diagnosis?

If so, and you've used them, was it successful? How helpful was your fertility clinic with regards to weighing up the options for IVF vs cancer recurrence? Did your oncologist work with the fertility clinic for the best outcome? Did you have to come off of any cancer prevention medication in order to do IVF/TTC???

Any stories appreciated.

No useful personal experience but the latest BFN podcast episode features a lady who had IVF as a result of a cancer diagnosis and associated chemotherapy treatment. Hers is a pretty full on story, but she has some useful pointers and I think has her own podcast which might be useful to check out.

All the best with your treatment xx
