The article shares the story of Joanna Young, a woman who survived a rare form of ovarian cancer but was left infertile due to the treatment. She struggled to access fertility services due to inconsistencies in NHS funding, which is often dependent on local decision-making. Only 7% of Independent Care Boards implement the guidance that up to three IVF cycles should be given to women under 40. Despite this, Joanna was able to welcome a baby son with the help of an egg donor. The article highlights the need for more consistent access to fertility preservation services for cancer patients in the UK. It also mentions the work of TFP Oxford Fertility, a leading group advocating for fast-tracked referral pathways for oncology patients, dedicated public funding to eliminate geographical inequalities, and a national registry to track outcomes.
