Brief Summary:
The success of cancer treatment combined with the trend to delay childbearing is increasing the numbers of women survivors whose childbearing has been interrupted by cancer For some treatment has resulted in infertility Others have been advised to delay pregnancy until a certain follow-up interval or have new fears that pregnancy could be a risk to maternal health Not least is the concern that children born after a mothers cancer would face increased risks for birth defects or cancer
The specific aims of this project are as follows
1 To measure the impact of cancer-related interruption of childbearing on womens long-term emotional well-being and health-related quality of life over and above other demographic and cancer-related factors
2 To find out if becoming a biological or social mother after cancer treatment decreases the long-term psychosocial impact of interrupted childbearing compared to remaining childless
3 To refine the psychometric properties of questionnaires for female cancer survivors measuring Distress about Cancer-Related Childbearing Issues and Attitudes towards Parenthood after Cancer
4 To define targets for a future intervention to improve female survivors knowledge about childbearing after cancer decrease distress associated with interrupted childbearing and promote peer support
