And it means that everyone who'd benefit from extracting eggs isn’t getting the chance to do so, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem with this appeals process is that it takes time, and cancer patients often don't have time.

We’d just cover it. We wouldn't say, ‘Oh, there are new chemotherapies that really improve your survival from cancer, but you can't have them because they’re too expensive.’ We don't do that generally. But we tend to treat reproductive health and mental health differently,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dudley said state regulators and politicians should realize that the way insurers — governed by state regulators — treat reproductive health and fertility preservation has a huge impact on the lives of cancer patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A happy ending for Alice\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Alice Crisci, going into debt to pay for fertility treatment helped her get through the dark, lonely moments soon after her diagnosis. With each expensive injection of hormones, she was banking on the fact that her body still worked and that she would beat cancer, resume a normal life and eventually have a baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The injections were a little bit painful, but I was in control.
