Questioins Tue, 14 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT if you havent had the procedure then sperm banking is an option.  If you have already had it then fertility should not be much of an issue assuming there are no other problems and birth defects from radiation would be unlikely.  Oncrx Tue, 14 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT
