Joe - Re: Sperm storage before RAI

December 5, 2002

Joe -

This is a great idea for consideration. I don't believe the subject has come

up on this list, probably because there are so few male group members (and maybe

because the men are less inclined

than we are, to discuss all their bodily functions and personal and sexual

issues ;-)

.... for a quotation from a nuclear med text book on this subject, see

As far as I know, RAI doesn't impact women's fertility in any way, but it DOES

have an impact on men's fertility, so between your RAI treatment and your wife's

health issues, her gynecologist was

very wise to make that recommendation.

Good luck to you both, and we look forward to hearing your happy news in 9-10

months :-)
