Prostate cancer & fertility: Did treatment affect your ability to have children?

Hi everyone,

How are you doing today?

Many people don’t realise just how much prostate cancer treatment can impact fertility until they’re faced with it firsthand. Whether it’s surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy, the effects can be life-changing.

💬 If you’re comfortable sharing:

• Did you experience fertility challenges after treatment?
• Were fertility preservation options like sperm banking ever discussed with you?
• How did you cope emotionally with any changes to your reproductive health?
