Chemotherapy
Can damage eggs and accelerate ovarian aging
Protect your fertility before cancer treatment
A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. Along with focusing on treatment, many women face the deeply personal question: "Will I still be able to have children?" Certain cancer therapies can damage your ovaries and permanently reduce fertility. At Advanced Fertility Center of Texas (AFCT), we specialize in rapid-response fertility preservation for women recently diagnosed with cancer. Our team works closely with your oncology specialists to safely preserve your fertility before treatment begins, often within just a few days.
