Living with and beyond cancer can be challenging. This Living Beyond Cancer podcast is for people currently receiving cancer treatment, those who have completed cancer treatment, and their caregivers.
Hosted by WVU Cancer Institute's Cancer Prevention and Control, the podcast is supported by a grant from the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health in collaboration with Mountains of Hope, West Virginia's cancer control coalition.
Preserving Possibilities: Fertility and Pediatric Oncology
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jennie Yoost, Professor of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology at Marshall University. Together, we explore fertility preservation and treatment options for children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment. Dr. Yoost shares why early conversations about fertility and reproductive health matter, the options available to young patients and their families, and the role parents and guardians play in decision-making. The discussion also addresses common barriers to accessing fertility preservation services, such as insurance coverage, financial considerations, and limitations specific to West Virginia, while highlighting how science continues to evolve to expand care. This thoughtful and informative episode offers practical guidance, reassurance, and hope to families navigating cancer treatment.
