Cancer is multifaceted. It damages the healthy cells of the body as well as some serious side-effects. The conventional treatment options of cancer may treat the disease, but long term effects are serious, infertility being top on the list of adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Experts across the globe are aware of the damage to the reproductive system after heavy chemo medication and radiation. But, as per reports (in study by new Northwestern Medicine) nothing adequate is done to preserve the fertility, especially in young patients. Surviving cancer is a miracle. Having a baby, after cancer is a blessing. But, most young women lose their fertility to the cure of cancer, not the disease. It is important to inform the patients of fertility loss and refer them to a fertility specialist after cancer treatment. But, the study indicated that this is not being done.
It can be very disturbing for a young cancer patient to learn that the reproductive health has been affected due to cancer treatment, while there was a choice. People are surviving cancer, thanks to the advanced science. Cancer survivors yearn to lead a normal life, marry and have babies. This is possible. A cancer patient must be educated of choices for treatment. Immunotherapy is a recognized cure plan for cancer that does not affect fertility. The medications offered during Immunotherapy only target cancer cells and do not damage any healthy tissue of the body. Immunotherapy improves the overall wellness quotient of the body without any adverse effects. Cancer Healer experts believe that every cancer patient has the right to be informed. It is the duty of every oncologist to educate the patient about cancer, all treatment options available in the country or outside, pros and cons, financial and psychological effects. Cancer patients should be made aware that along with the oncologists they need to work with immunotherapy, clinical diet, psychologists as well as fertility experts to ensure their holistic wellbeing.
