Tomorrow, August 8th, we are excited to be hosting Angela Lawson, PhD, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, for our Virtual Grand Rounds (VGR) at 10 AM CDT, entitled, “Psychological Aspects of Fertility Preservation.” The decision to participate in fertility preservation treatment after a cancer diagnosis is psychologically complex. Dr. Lawson will discuss the psychosocial issues related to adult female fertility preservation including, cost, rapid decision-making, ethical dilemmas, and posthumous reproduction.
