Some cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, radiation, or certain surgeries, can affect fertility, but it depends on the type of cancer, the treatment, and your age.

After treatment, your doctor can help you explore family planning options, including assisted reproductive technologies if needed. Being open about your concerns ensures you get the right support and guidance.
