Episode 19: Oncofertility: Making Fertility Preservation a Priority
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in light of this, we are dedicating four episodes to oncofertility – the bridge between oncology and reproductive research that explores and expands options for the reproductive future of cancer survivors.
In the first episode of the four-part series, we hear from Joyce Reinecke, a young and newly married lawyer, who was devastated when she found out she had cancer. Learning she could become infertile from cancer treatment made it tremendously more difficult, and at the time, fertility preservation was not a priority for cancer patients.
Joyce tells her brave story of surviving cancer, preserving her fertility, and dedicating her life to helping other cancer patients through her work with the Alliance for Fertility Preservation.
Guest: Joyce Reinecke, Executive Director at Alliance for Fertility Preservation
Host: Lissa Kline, VP of Provider and Member Services at Progyny
