ASCO Member Sonali Smith, MD, discusses fertility and cancer in the “Moving Forward” video series on Cancer.Net.

April 2013: ASCO and the LIVESTRONG Foundation worked together to launch a video series designed for people diagnosed with cancer between ages 15 and 39. The series, “Moving Forward: Perspectives from Survivors and Doctors,” offers information on common challenges faced by young adults with cancer. Each topic in the series consists of two videos: one from ASCO that offers guidance from medical health care experts, and one from LIVESTRONG that provides views from young adult survivors on the same topic.

The 12 video pairings in the series offer information on the fear of recurrence, fertility concerns, and medical-expenses tracking, body changes, dating and sexuality, diet and exercise, family and friends, fear of dying, health insurance, managing pain, school, and work.  Direct your patients to cancer.net/movingforward or Cancer.Net’s channel on YouTube (youtube.com/cancerdotnet).

This video series was made possible by a grant from LIVESTRONG to the Conquer Cancer Foundation, which supports Cancer.Net.
