FERTILITY PRESERVATION

Is this really an option?

The LaRue family (like many cancer families) had the option to freeze Daxton's testicle tissue in attempts to someday allowing him to have kids. The sad reality is the amount of radiation these kids receive infertility is a huge side effect. Along comes fertility preservation. A modern-day miracle and a great option for society to have. Most cancer families are already stressed with the burden of medical costs. The downfall of fertility preservation is the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS a year it cost to store tissue or embryos. Not to mention the cost to create a baby when he and his future wife are ready. What is NOT guaranteed with all of these $, a baby. The lifelong side effects of cancer can cause anxiety and concern with all diagnosis.
