N2 - In depth interviews were conducted with thirty eight individuals diagnosed with cancer between ages 13 and 21 and aware of a risk, no matter how small, that their fertility may have been affected. Age at interview ranged from 16 to 30. Twenty one females (nine teenagers and twelve adults) and seventeen males (seven teenagers and ten adults) were drawn from a range of backgrounds regarding educational achievement, employment, family situation and ethnicity. While none had a prior major impairment, several were left with impairments following treatment.
