So if a patient calls and is looking for a fertility specialist, I would generally refer them back to whatever hospital that they’re working with or their oncology care to see if they have a fertility clinic within that hospital or if they have a urology department within that hospital. If they didn’t or they were looking for something else, then I would first refer them to Fertile Hope where you can go to the Fertile Hope Web site and you can find the doctor or you can call them during the week and find out what’s close to you locally. If they wanted some more information, maybe some more detailed information, that’s certainly something that they can call the Oncofertility Consortium about and we can try to answer that question or try to link them up with maybe somebody who is also in the Oncofertility Consortium but might not be linked up with Fertile Hope.
