The gift of hope: my personal experience.

SCIENTIFIC EDITOR'S INTRODUCTORY COMMENT: As part of our conference, we began with a panel of cancer survivors recounting their personal stories of cancer, infertility, and paths to parenthood. Lindsay Nohr Beck not only had a cancer treatment that could potentially impair fertility but, in a wonderful example of "turning lemons into lemonade," founded the advocacy group Fertile Hope so that other men and women facing infertility would have a national resource to find information and support. We asked her to share her story with readers of this monograph. For more information, visit www.fertilehope.org or call (888) 994-HOPE.
