National Infertility Awareness Week is observed during the last week of April, this year being April 23rd to 29nd.  Infertility Awareness Week is a significant week that aims to raise awareness for those who are facing infertility. When diagnosed with cancer, many don’t even think about the possibility of becoming infertile, since they are so focused on surviving. There needs to be more knowledge around how cancer affects the body, and how it affects your fertility. In fact, less than 50 percent of physicians discuss the damage cancer treatment may have on your fertility according to the Chick Mission.
