Everything is happening so fast. Where can my partner and I get advice and support?

Do you feel like your world is in fast-forward right now? You and your partner have just received life-altering news, yet you’re being given little time to think about and plan for important decisions regarding fertility and the potential for having a family after cancer. It can all feel pretty overwhelming. And sometimes, just getting the facts isn’t enough.
You may not realize this, but approximately 1 in 52 women will be diagnosed with some kind of cancer between birth and the age of 39, so there are many couples out there who have gone through just what you’re going through. For men, while testicular cancer isn’t the most common form of cancer overall, it is the most common for men aged 15-44. But between technological advances in cancer treatment and heightened survival rates, planning for life and a family after cancer has become a reality.
Also remember that while you’re supporting your partner, it’s important to seek support for yourself. You’ll be a better source of strength, courage, and love if your own needs and concerns are addressed.
