Vika: Well it’s really hard to give advice to those people that have infertility issues because we haven’t crossed that path yet, so if that happens to happen to us and if chemotherapy is the reason why we are not fertile, then being open to other options, exploring other options would be the way to go, especially if you would like to have a family. So, adoption is a great option. And, we’ve already spoken about that and we’re both comfortable with that.

Adam: I would say trying to find someone who’s gone through a similar experience that you can bounce things off of and say, “Hey, how did you feel whenever this happened to you and what did you do?” And just trying to find a fertility soul mate. That’s probably what we would do as a couple if that came about for us. I would also say again, not to read all of the bad information out there and assume that all the bad things are definitely going to happen to you. I think there’s probably more hope than people give credit for early on when they first hear that they may be having fertility issues.
