Zero sperm count

today me and my partner had the devastating news that his sperm count is 0. We are both heart broken. He had a bone marrow transplant, total body irradiation, chemo ect. Cancer was picked up from the age of 2. So no chance of sperm banking ect. 

Has anyone been through this ? Any success stories. ? Is this the end of the road ? Any treatments that can bring fertility back even at the slightest?! My heart is absolutely breaking for him. I don't no what to say or anything.. it took so so much to get him to be tested that I almost feel like I'm the one to blame that he's going through this

soneone must have experience similar

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat southernmonkey92 although I'm really sorry to read about you and your partner's situation.

    Please don't blame yourself for what has happened. It isn't your fault but I can understand how you may be feeling upon receiving this news. Hopefully other members who have had a similar experience will reply soon but do look around the forum using the 'search forum' option above to seek out others who may have gone through this as well.

    I have found some information about fertility and chemotherapy on our website here which may give more insight in to your situation but I would recommend giving our cancer nurses a call next week as you will be able to talk through your situation with them in more detail and they will be able to advise of any options that may be available to you and your partner. You can call them Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Kind Regards,
