Cancer and Cryopreservation

Cancer and Cryopreservation…
Why should a woman or a man with cancer consider this?
A woman is born with all of the eggs that she will ever have, averaging 300,000 remaining eggs when she starts puberty. Certain types of chemotherapy and/or radiation localized to the pelvic region can kill or damage some or all of the eggs in the ovary. Therefore, it is often prudent to cryopreserve (freeze) eggs or embryos prior to undergoing these potentially harmful therapies in order to preserve a woman’s future ability to conceive and become pregnant.
A male produces sperm in his testes on a continual basis. Once produced, the sperm goes through 2-3 months of transport where it gains maturity and functionality. Certain types of chemotherapy and/or radiation localized to the pelvic region can damage the ability of the testes to produce and/or transport healthy sperm. Therefore, it is often prudent to cryopreserve (freeze) sperm prior to undergoing these potentially harmful therapies in order to preserve one’s future ability to conceive.
Since time is often of the essence with our oncology patients, these are top priority on FINA’s schedule. FINA works closely with your oncology team to consult with every patient desiring a consultation within 1-3 days of initial request.
You can schedule your initial consultation to discuss your current cancer treatment plan and the options available to you by calling us at 256-217-9613 or by visiting our website. ❤

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. This is a time when we can show support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss.

While child loss may be a more common occurrence than people think, there are still far too many families that face the devastating moments alone, desperate for support before, during or after the loss of a baby.

To all the families who have experienced this loss, we are so sorry. You are loved and supported, and your baby will never be forgotten.❤️

Breast Cancer Awareness Month🎗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!🌸
This annual health campaign helps to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.
The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer and helps educate women on why early screening and testing is so very important.

Meet Julie, FINA’s Billing Manager!

Meet Julie, FINA’s Billing Manager. Julie is a bright shining light around the office with her outgoing personality and sweet demeanor!
We asked Julie to share a few things with us to help to get to know her better. She loves gardening, reading, and traveling.💐 And she absolutely adores spending time with her grandbabies! Julie’s favorite food is Mexican🌮 and she has two dogs, Daisy and Koby.🐶🐕
If you see her around the office, make sure you say hello.

“We saw Dr. D for a second opinion…”

“I can not say enough good things about Dr. Davenport and his staff. We saw him for a second opinion after 6 months at another fertility clinic without success. He was extremely straightforward and informative about how to move forward with growing our family. He’s so kind and incredibly smart! He was spot on with every recommendation he made!
His staff is so nice and compassionate. Kendra is a phenomenal nurse and so personable and his front office staff always makes sure you are well taken care of. After only a few months of seeing Dr. D, we were pregnant and just welcomed our baby girl to the world. So much love and gratitude for Dr. D and his staff!!”
Thank you so much to our patient for leaving this kind review on our Google page! We appreciate it so much and are so thankful to have been part of your journey!

We are so thankful for our amazing patients!

Meet Kendra, FINA’s Nurse Practitioner!

Meet Kendra, FINA’s Nurse Practitioner. We absolutely love Kendra at FINA and our patients do too!
We asked Kendra to tell us a few random fun facts that could help us get to know her better. When she was a child, she had a pet turtle named Alley.? She took 4 years of Russian in high school.? Prior to working at FINA, she lived in Nashville? and worked at a women’s hospital. And one we can all relate to- Kendra loves Mexican food!?
Kendra- Thanks for sharing your facts with us and for taking such great care of everyone! We are so thankful for you.?
