Fertility after cancer treatment

I came across an interesting Canadian website over the weekend, called Fertile Future.
Their introductory paragraph says:
In 2005, approximately 10,000 Canadians aged 20-44 were diagnosed with cancer. An estimated 80% survived. Thousands of young Canadians every year seek to find a way to preserve their fertility before undergoing potentially sterilizing cancer treatment in order to survive. Fertile Future provides fertility preservation information and supporting services to Canadian cancer patients and their families in and prior to their reproductive years who are facing fertility-risking medical treatment, as well as oncology professionals.
I don’t know much about it, and I’m not flogging this site, I just thought it might be interesting for people who would like to learn more.
