Hey! Fellow cancer-sufferers/survivors! I have a question that I think really needs addressing.
Any of you who have had radiotherapy, and are male, will probably have had to have some sperm stored somewhere. I certainly have, and now, a year after my treatment finished, the storage place are demanding money off me, for continued storage!
This is totally outrageous! I can't see how they can FORCE me to pay money for something that I may never need, nor never actually have any use for. For one, I might NOT actually be infertile, there's no-one who's checked that. Secondly, the stored sperm still doesn't guarantee sucess if I ever even WANT a baby (which I don't know I do yet...). Thirdly, how can they charge someone for something that we HAVE to have?
My doctor says I don't have a leg to stand on, because my PCT doesn't pay for Sperm Storage, so, what am I supposed to do? Pay the £200 each year???? Comments will be much appreciated.
