The CFM Team
Women with cancer asked for information to help them think about the treatments which may help preserve their fertility, and prepare them to talk with their cancer care team and fertility care team, partner, family and friends about fertility preservation, before their cancer treatment starts.
This website was written by the Cancer, Fertility and Me (CFM) team to help women with cancer make decisions about fertility preservation before starting their cancer treatment.
The CFM team includes psychologists, decision scientists, researchers, children’s and adult cancer and fertility doctors, specialist nurses, patient partners and local and national charity collaborators.
We hope this website will support you to know what options are available and help you make the best decision for you.
The CFM research team is grateful to all the patients, user groups and health professionals who gave their time and expertise to support the development of this website.
Update policy
The development of the resource was funded by Leeds Beckett University and Yorkshire Cancer Research. The CFM research team members do not stand to gain or lose with regards to the use of this resource.
Every effort has been made to ensure that this resource provides up to date and accurate information at the date of publication (October 2021). The CFM team will continually review emerging evidence to ensure that accurate information is presented. The CFM team will endeavour to update the resource annually, unless any new evidence emerges that warrants earlier updating. The next planned update is due to take place in December 2026.
