Rosen and colleagues surveyed women diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 18 and 40 years, who were registered in the California Cancer Registry between 1993 and 2007.They found that 61% of the women received counseling on the risks that cancer treatment can have on their fertility from their doctor or other clinician.

Her strong credentials reflect in her body language and her intelligent conversations. It was obviously impossible to discard such a worthy candidate like trash. I asked her to recall every event with the minutest details that took place that day. Everything sounded perfect but she didnt mention a word about her attire, her make up or hair.
